In this episode, the MatStats crew tackles the “Upon Further Review” culture in collegiate wrestling. Joining the show is Dr. Mike McCormick, former D1 referee and current NCAA Coordinator of Officials, who provided 6 years of comprehensive video review data from the NCAA Men’s D1 Championships (2021–2026).
Glenn Gormley crunches the numbers to evaluate referee accuracy, challenge success rates, time impact, and whether the “smoke 'em if you got 'em” mentality skews challenge data.
