Cradles, rolling and the evolution of wrestling

So I wrestled in the late 90s. Went to my daughters home duel last night. Her team really loves and trains cradles. Almost every time they locked up a cradle, they would try to roll through to get the other guy on his back. I did a fair amount of scrambling and creative stuff back in my day, and I know Askren and others have really highlighted new ways to get people to their back, and there's plenty of videos on youtube training this approach to cradling, but this seems like the default way to get the guy on his back instead of a way to deal with someone countering the cradle well.

End result, our team got one well executed roll to a pin (guy was behind by 10 points two). Two ok executed cradle rolls for some near fall point. 8 failed attempts leading reversals and/or self pins.

Are high school kids these days taught scrambling over fundamentals without understanding its a counter to a counter?
