My boys asked me this last night when one got a leg cradle on the other. How come this isn't a head scissors? The head and arm are a head scissors, why not the head and foot? Usually you see this when one kid is over matched and the other is showboating. I'm pretty sure I saw this in the section finals and the kid that scored with the legs cradle ended up losing, so it can happen at a fairly high level. I sometimes ref youth and middle school, but I'm not going to be the first guys to call a leg cradle a penalty point for the other guy. It feels like the answer is you can't break a kid's neck with a leg cradle, but wondering if anyone else has thought about this. |

Leg cradle is a dumb move and should be banned especially at the youth level. It serves no useful purpose except to showboat over an inferior opponent. |

The instance you are talking about was during a takedown scramble when othe Foley wrestler tried to pass the leg and the Litchfield wrestler wound up applying the leg cradle, ending on top getting TD and 2 NF. Litch won the match by seven. |
