Thought you would enjoy some of the better comments we ran across in the passing of King Karl. Kind of inhumane of the ACC to have Karl Hess work Pitt-Boston College as his last game before severing ties with him. — Shawn Curtis (@shawncurtis430) January 9, 2015 They may have fired him, but Karl Hess […]
Multiple sources told @DavidGlennShow and @ACCSports the ACC is ending its relationship with controversial BB official Karl Hess. More soon. — David Glenn Show (@DavidGlennShow) January 9, 2015 In case you have missed it, the background for these recent developments have been discussed in this thread on our message forums for days (SEE why you […]
WOW, Karl Hess booted by ACC over racist comment. Let's check in on Tobacco Road's reax… pic.twitter.com/V73eq92603 — LostLettermen.com (@LostLettermen) January 9, 2015 We all know “King” Karl Hess as a megalomaniac, thin-skinned diva, and all-around, general purpose dickhead. Or as the Brits would say, “bell end.” Well, good thing for NC State he also […]
Most of the time this would be a hard question: Where were you 15 years ago tonight? But for myself and 19,000+ other State fans, that’s an easy question to answer. We were at the very first NC State basketball game at the Raleigh Entertainment Sports Arena/RBC Center/PNC Arena. Giveaway poster from opening night: And […]
So what fun would college sports be if there wasn’t a bit of officiating controversy? And why should the Final Four be any different? But in this case, despite downplaying the screw job handed to them in the closing moments of their semi-finals loss to Louisville, it seems to us that Wichita State has a […]
This link to Deadspin has a video from last night’s UConn @ Marquette game that you will find interesting. Officials mutilated the start of an overtime period last night in Milwaukee, casting doubt on the outcome of what would eventually be a 82-76 Marquette victory over UConn and tarnishing the already-black reputation of referee Karl […]
Dan Dakich was on the Mark Thomas (99.9 The Fan) show today and, we learned two things: he really likes Karl Hess a lot, and he doesn’t care if State fans and players dislike him. We also learned that, based on his response, Dakich clearly doesn’t know Hess was in fact reprimanded by the ACC […]
I must admit that this news is a big surprise to me. I genuinely expected Hess to be omitted from the ACC’s officiating roster this season and probably forever. Regardless of this news, I would still be shocked if NC State saw Hess next season. But, the ACC has ‘shocked’ us before. If the truth […]
I am not making this up. According to alert reporter J.P. Giglio, the three officials working the Maryland-Wake game have “KH” on their left shoes. Full story. Hess’ absence is not a form of punishment for the incident at the N.C. State-Florida State game on Feb. 18, Clougherty said, but the three officials who worked […]
8pm Update: J.P. Giglio writes that Gugs and Fire were kicked out for “excessive demonstration” (N&O): In the email to N.C. State, Hess wrote: “They were ejected for excessive demonstration on several calls as they came right up to the scorer’s table. The policeman at the end of the FSU bench was warned that their […]
