NIC coach, wrestler suspended
A dispute at a Jan. 22 match has resulted in North Idaho College standout wrestler Deondre Wilson and coach Pat Whitcomb serving a belated suspension that will keep both out of the national tournament. Whitcomb said Wilson “made a mistake” for his involvement in a post-match altercation with his Southwestern Oregon opponent, but the coach was told by the official that Wilson received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and not a flagrant ejection, which would have called for the loss of six team points, the wrestler’s ejection from the gym and a two-match suspension/ Jim Meehan , SR.

Question: This suspension appears to be over-the-top. Thoughts?
