Wrestling is for the kids who aren't athletic enough to play basketball!! I've seen a bunch of hoops players who could be good wrestlers with a year of experience, but I've never seen a wrestler who would be able to play at the JV level if the decided to play basketball.

chief wigam - WOW are you clueless...NO ONE with "a year of experience" could be a good wrestler first of all. Second, find me more that 5 basketball players who could even make it through a week of wrestling practice and I will buy you a car.

I know a kid who was a solid wrestler, but nothing special and he set out to prove the opposite of what you are saying. He tried out for basketball as a freshman, made the VARSITY team...then quit to come back to wrestling just to prove a point. He made the varsity basketball team because, according to the coaches, he outhustled, outworked, and was mentally tougher than every kid who tried out combined. They actually tried to work out a deal where he could play both. He said no then went out and had a .500 season on the wrestling mats. Varsity basketball...50/50 wrestler...which do you think is easier? I know what you will say because you are obviously a basketball fan...but this kid flat out proved that wrestlers were superior.

ksig is a wrestling homer.

Fact, we had a state qualifying wrestler in Sandusky who was terrible at basketball.. Didn't make the cut for JV his Sophomore year.

Again, Basketball is > at EVERY rank. America approves.

Every school's talent level is different in all sports. I coach basketball at a school that has a very good wrestling program and the boys bball isnt the best right now. We had a few wrestlers come into the open gyms ,(before the respective sports started) and the wrestlers?....well lets just say we (the coaches) got a good laugh.

I don't have a dog in this fight..as I could care less either way. But that couldn't be the dumbest thing I've read on this thread. If you think wrestlers aren't athletic..well..I suggest you go give it a shot champ. Very few basketball players would be a good wrestler with a year of experience..just like very few wrestlers will be a good basketball players with the same amount of experience.

Wrestling takes practice, training, and skill..the same as basketball..to think one is more athletic then the other is quite stupid. Wrestlers have to be able to think quickly, stamina, toughness, skill, and athletic ability...just as you would have to have many of those characteristics to be a good basketball player.

You can't match two athletes from two different sports.

I have to agree this is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Have you ever seen a basketball player catch an elbow to the eye? They miss 6 games because they are total pansies. A wrestler will wrestle with broken ribs, bruised heart, TWO black eyes, or even with no arms... I don't even consider basketball a sport. Curling is better than basketball.

Wrong.

REAL Men play hockey during Wrestling/Basketball season.

Just like how REAL Men play Lacrosse during baseball season :D
