Can coaches and wrestlers use electronic devices to communicate during a match?

The regulation surrounding the use of electronic devices in wrestling is strict, primarily to maintain fairness and the integrity of the competition. Electronic communication during a match can provide an unfair advantage, as coaches and wrestlers could exchange strategies or real-time adjustments that could significantly impact the outcome of the match. The rules are designed to ensure that matches are contested on the athletes' skill and preparation alone, without external assistance during the competition itself.

Given this context, the only appropriate stance is that such devices may never be used during a match. This reflects the governing bodies' commitment to maintaining a level playing field for all competitors in high school wrestling. While there may be allowances for using technology for training purposes outside of competition, the rules clearly prohibit any form of communication via electronic devices once the match begins.
