I know you were at states(at least I think you were). One question: why did Teasdale's opponent choose the up position instead of down or neutral. He lost the match 2-0 on 2 escapes! It just did not make any sense and the announcers(tv) did not make mention of it.
I also thought Teasdale did not look like the better wrestler in that match even though he won.

I was there as a coach with Reynolds
Teasdale has a great tilt
He did not want to give up a quick 2 near fall
He thought his best shot was on his feet to win

Does he not have the choice of neutral? He should have had a takedown.

Yes he picked neutral

Jones took top. Teasdale took bottom. I don't know what Jones was thinking.

Matthews looked REALLY good during the tourney. Dominating.

Jones took top - probably because he knew (1) Teasdale is really tough on top and can turn people, and (2) he knew it would be very tough to take Teasdale down. Probably thought his best shot being down 1-0 was a cheap tilt for 2 and ride him out.

Yep I was wrong and I agree with that

I thought Jones took top in 2nd period. That is what announcers said.

He did - pretty sure we cleared that up in the above

If he took top in 2nd period, he was not down 1-0. It was 0-0 going into 2nd period and Jones had come very close to getting a takedown in the first.

I think the thought process is the same, though. He clearly didn’t want to go underneath him, and he had some thought he could turn him
