January 9, 201511 yr I can't see him getting another job if he did that. I've not seen video or heard audio just heard some talking about it on the radio this morning.
January 9, 201511 yr Reports: ACC to part ways with controversial referee Karl Hess | syracuse.com The ACC's decision to part ways with Hess would come within a week after the long-time referee's interaction with a Wake Forest fan which included Hess directing a racial insult toward the fan. Mit Shah, the CEO of an Atlanta-based hotel management company and former chairman of the Wake Forest University board of trustees, said that Hess used an ethnic slur toward him during Sunday's game between Wake Forest and Louisville. The Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer first reported that Shah had an account of the incident on Twitter. Shah said Hess told him he wanted to sit in his seat and watch Shah ref a game, calling Shah an ethnic slur.
January 9, 201511 yr You'll still see him. He works other conferences besides the ACC. He's too connected with John Adams and the NCAA to lose his refereeing gig totally.

January 9, 201511 yr After reading the article, let me play devils advocate and ask this. If Shah WERE Egyptian, would it still be considered a slur? If he were French, and he said "Your French (butt)..." is that a slur? I'm asking because I want opinions and I don't know how it would be viewed if in this context. And by the way, if anyone would have asked me who Karl Hess was before this post, I would have had no clue.

And by the way, if anyone would have asked me who Karl Hess was before this post, I would have had no clue. IMHO, he meant it as a slur. So yes, it would still be one. Why else would he throw the nationality into it? He could have just said "I can't wait to see your (butt) out here reffing a game."
January 9, 201511 yr You'll still see him. He works other conferences besides the ACC. He's too connected with John Adams and the NCAA to lose his refereeing gig totally. I think I saw him working Cincinnati's game last weekend if I'm not mistaken.
January 9, 201511 yr Hess should have been fired for his on court performance. Worst referee I've ever seen. Anyone remeber when he gave Pitino a technical for yelling at his own player?
January 9, 201511 yr You'll still see him. He works other conferences besides the ACC. He's too connected with John Adams and the NCAA to lose his refereeing gig totally. Could be, but I've got to think with all the pub, the conference affiliation dominoes will start falling.
January 9, 201511 yr You'll still see him. He works other conferences besides the ACC. He's too connected with John Adams and the NCAA to lose his refereeing gig totally. Fired from the AAC as well. Big East soon to follow...
January 9, 201511 yr Can't be a complete butt hat your entire career and never have it catch up with you...
