Thanks for posting that. I looked at the video about 10 times and here are my comments (not that they're worth anything.) When the official called the fall he was NOT pinned, however he was stuck for a good 5-6 seconds. The official should have called the fall when he was counting for nf points. He was definately flat then. If you watch the video pause the frame at the 1:30 mark and you can see it pretty clearly.

I finally found this video and watched it a few times, and I fail to see how Metcalf was pinned. The video I watched had the ref standing in the way, when Metcalf may have been pinned, but since his legs block an actual view, it's impossible to see that. When the ref finally begins to get a 'feel' for the situation, seemingly influenced by the coach yelling 'he's pinned' several times, Metcalf is most assuredly not pinned. And if he had been pinned prior to that, the ref certainly should not have decided the call in that manner. That was exceedingly poor judgement on his part. And I am not partial to Metcalf at all, so if he was pinned, I wouldn't be opining about it....

Here's the link I used: www.thewrestlingtalk.com/college-wrestling/3057-does-anyone-have-video-darrion-caldwell-pin-vs-metcalf.html

Apparently, the 'pinning' area is not confined very close to and around the shoulders, but can extend quite a bit below that -- and if this video represents an interpretation of that area, you can be pinned if your mid-back is touching the mat....someone out there must know the boundaries for an actual pin...
