I agree with Snaqwells. It is a stupid saying. Tell a kid who has grown up with a verbally abusive parent, that words don't hurt. They do!

Mr Hess is a dentist, I guess he got tired of the bull that the 2 All Stars were putting out. I think that Ms Yow needs to worry about her fans as Mr Hess has call several final fours and knows what he is doing. Shame on Ms Yow, she is a piece of work in the wrong direction!

There appear to be more witnesses to the event beyond Hess, Yow, and the two former players: There are at least a couple people sitting at the scorers' table with ACC vests on. I'd love to hear what they had to say - and I image Clougherty has.

I doubt we'll ever have a fuller accounting, though, so we'll be left speculating and second guessing and presuming the best or worst of the individuals involved.

Do you think Karl will be working the ceremonial NC State game coming up? Doubt it

He is not a dentist. He is a therapist

Maybe he's a therapeutic dentist?

My favorite comments are from NC State fans (who knew they existed) who blindly take the word of the losers, umm, legends who come to every game and heckle the fans over the official when nobody knows the full story.

I'm not sure what kind of Doctor he is, but he is some kind. I met him several years ago and he seems like an OK guy to me.

He has been around for some time and what my seem like comments that aren't over the line may have had something to do with things that happened when those two were playing. Just a suggestion; like everyone else, I don't really know.

The ACC is his primary conference - he meets the requirements to be in the highest tier. He may or may not have known about the official procedure, but he is also human. I asked one of my friends what happened in a high profile game earlier this year and after he told me he said he wasn't going to pass judgement because things could happen to any of us...I don't think this is going to cause Mr. Hess to lose any games or sleep.

And when you have been working as long as he has at that level, I am sure that is the case for many of these situations.

Hess started iin the ACC in 1987. Wonder if he ever Teed up those two clowns. For the first time EVER, I will root for Carolina against NC State. Certainly hope officials will ALWAYS know where game management is in that venue. Something tells me those two dolts will push the envelope.

I love the denial for their actions. They know what they said and they know what they did. Maybe they are that stupid as they did go to NC State for that matter.

I love the comments on the ESPN article. As if any of those a$$clowns have any clue about officiating...

They are all morons. I rarely watch ESPN unless I am watching the EPL game of the week.

1. They love their fellow officials.

2. They believe because of your (stature, experience, and reputation) it gives you a free pass to do whatever you want. Because you know others will not challenge you on your behavior.

3. They will attack you personally when you don't see things their way.

4. Once it's confirmed they are wrong, they still try to spin it to make you believe you are still wrong.

5. The discussions on the forum are enlightening and gives you a different perspective on how others view not only officiating but society as a whole. I personally may not agree with others at times. I take what they say into consideration.

Does this mean you'll be leaving this board???
