It has been a college rule for about 3-5 years, if any part of a wrestlers body is in the cylinder, they are in bounds. I thought he was out of bounds until I saw the replay at the RAC....it was the correct call.
It was definitely the right call.
From the Rule Book...
Art. 5. In Bounds. Competitors are considered in bounds if any part of either wrestler is on or inside the boundary line. Wrestling shall continue as long as either wrestler remains in bounds. If the opponent’s body and the body of the wrestler attempting to score are outside the wrestling area, breaking the boundary of an imaginary cylinder surrounding and extending above the wrestling area, the wrestlers are considered out of bounds.

He was standing up, his butt wasn't on the ground, guess you weren't there.
Imagine trying to take a shit inside the cylinder but with out touching the boundary line. That's how a butt is inside the cylinder.
Better to have a Butt in the Cylinder, than a Cylinder in the Butt ! :grimace:
