I believe the only rule that Woodford coaches get away with are where the coaches are located on or around the mat. (I was not at the duals this weekend and do not know if this happened. I'm just stating what I have seen in the past. )
On several occasions I have seen their coaches beyond the line, that however is insignificant.
The complaint I always have is that they seem to always have a coach on both sides of the mat. A coach is suppose to be restricted to one corner of the mat. They seem to have one coach in the chair then the other on the other side of the mat walking around and getting close to the mat to coach when needed.
I have even seen them coaching from behind the coaches of their opponent.
However this is like the speed limit on the expressway. If they allow you to go 65 in a 55 you will continue to do so until you are stopped and punished for it. The officials need to control this.
