Technically in freestyle it is not a “push out” rule - it’s a step out rule. The rule is that if you step out (whether pushed or not), you get dinged - this is what the NCAA is *trying* to mirror. In freestyle - if wrestler A is simply trying to push wrestle B out of bounds all the time, the ref can call wrestler A for passivity as pushing is not “offensive”.
