With about 35 seconds left in the NCAA 174 semi between Mark Hall (PSU) and Zahid Valencia (ASU), Valencia scores a takedown. Hall escapes with 18 seconds. PSU coach Cael Sanderson challenges the takedown saying that Valencia pulled on Hall's headgear. Replays clearly show that Valencia did pull on Hall's chinstrap. The takedown was nullified, Hall was awarded 1 technical point and the clock was reset to 39 seconds. There's been debate on this forum and throughout social media that Valencia's action wasn't intentional and should have not been penalized. Watching the replay, regardless if Valencia's tug was intentional or not, IMO it appears that it created just enough of a shift in Hall's body position that it led to Valencia getting the takedown. Was it the right call? What is the rule on grabbing/pulling the headgear? Intent or not? |

Correct call. there are lots of unintentional acts that result in penalties. (accidental locked hands?/ Full Nelson). The headgear pull definitely helped Valencia get an advantage and thus would have been stopped at the time the ref saw it and no TD would have happened. However as we all know it wasn't seen until after the review challenge. Thus TD gets nullified, 1 pt penalty and clock goes back to where the infraction happened. |
