His record shows 2 losses but since he never stepped on the mat in the finals he should only have 1 loss?? Just curious.
I know different coaches handle this differently. I'm not 100% sure, but I think technically when you step on the scale for a tournament, any match you are not able to go, you receive a forfeit. I seem to remember some controversy years ago when Chris Phillips was forced to forfeit at Iron Man after being injured. There was plenty of discussion after the fact surrounding his record......maybe someone can recall the exact details.
