Something that's been bothering me about video review is how and if reaction time is being accounted for. The locking hands call in tonight's final is an example. If you pause the video the instant the knee touches the mat and the hands are locked, do you need to account for reaction time? What if it was a hand touching the mat for a split second instead? I know the rules specifically mention reaction time for a hand touching the mat versus unlocking the hands.

Dan,
I am not entirely sure that I understand what you are asking so if this does not address it, please clarify.
The rule book reads as follows:
"Wrestlers in the position of advantage may not interlock or overlap their hands, fingers, or arms around their opponents body to both legs unless all of their opponents weight is supported entirely by the opponents feet or the defensive wrestlers pinning area is meeting near fall criterion"
Further:
"The mere touching of the defensive wrestlers hands to the mat is not considered a change to this position unless the hands are weight bearing, in which case the offensive wrestler is allowed reaction time to release the lock".
Remember, and this is important, that reaction time is allowed for moves bringing the defensive wrestler back to the mat but there is no reaction time coming up from the mat.

Since reaction time is allowed for an opponents hand touching the mat when your hands are locked, the hand can touch for some amount of time. If this is looked at on video during a challange, the time is actually measurable. It's a lot different than watching it happen during the live flow of the match. Just wondering how much time, if any, will be allowed if this situation is reviewed on video.

Never having had an occasion for a video review, I will wait to see if Fred chimes in.
In my mind, there should be no difference but, like coaches ask me, what do I know?

Dan, last year in my senior year of college they eliminated reaction time. It does not exist anymore.
