I wouldnt say he got "robbed"...he stalled like his life depended on it..and got called for it. At the end of the match with a few seconds left he was up by 4...and went for a takedown but instead was called for clasping. Not the way Weigel wanted to win i'm sure.

I would say that he got robbed. He has a reputation as a staller, which I won't argue is true... But the referees have to be impartial at all times and call every single kid the same way. They called stalling on Ford all weekend twice as fast as anyone else. and that's fast because stalling was called fast and furious at State.

Well i dont kno about him being called for it twice as fast. If that was the case McLean would have won in the semis...because IMO ford was stalling more obviously in that match than in the finals.
