Wrestling Dads Gone Wild

  

WRCB TV - Channel 3 - Chattanooga, Tennessee

11-year-old Nick Nasenbany shows off his many wrestling medals. Three years in the sports and never has he or anyone see anything quite like what happened yesterday on the mat.

"I was just wrestling and the guy just throws me."

"I was stunned when this is going down."

Here tonight, a look at the home video. Nick and another boy wrestling in a tournament in Rolling Meadows last night. When the other boy gets pinned. Watch what happens. That boy's father steps in, throwing Nicholas who goes airborne landing outside the ring as the man then starts marching towards Nicholas' father who is operating the camera.

"I mean there is a lot of different ways to stop a match. Not to pick up my son and launch him 5 feet, 10 feet in the air "

We spoke with one coach tonight who is among the organizers of last night's event. He says the move being used is uncomfortable but not illegal and the ref was just about to step in when this happened.

"The match was being stopped. He had blown his whistle already so the whole situation was going to stop."

We spoke to the dad, Reed Hoffman, tonight. He told us he is embarrassed by how he reacted. He regrets it. He says he is sometimes a coach in the sport but we are told he will no longer be able to coach kid's wrestling.
