Make that former players. From the stands.

Unbelievable....or not. But I love it.
I had a state tourney game today where 2 fans were removed...they were sitting behind the scorers table, and, unbeknownst to them, behind the site manager, who had them removed them for yelling disparaging statements about the officials. It turns out that they were the AD and Asst AD of the team that won by more than 20. Nice example.

That sort of behavior should be pubicized in the papers. Horrible that adults get away with this crap.

Karl Hess Ejects Tom Gugliotta, Chris Corchiani - YouTube

This is a youtube link of the guys getting tossed. Sitting right behind the scorers table I'm sure they got in some nasty shots throughout the game.

I don't know what was said but I know a few things.

1- if the idiot is right behind the table and is a distractions when we're trying to report, then I'm much more likely to get rid of them.

2- my guess is they got personal with Hess.

3- Hess bought himself some unneeded publicity.

Why is it unneeded? Was he doing his job? That is all that matters. If they got very personal they needed to go. And the comments did not have to be directed at Hess, they could have been about his partners or something that would be totally inappropriate. It probably happens more often but this happened to be two former players of that school and it made SportsCenter. And with everything on YouTube and Twitter (Corchiani Tweeted comments about Hess and being ejected), not much you can do to avoid the publicity in these days.

I think BBR meant unneeded in the sense that Karl Hess could have gone to game management and told them that they needed to go instead of interacting with the culprits like he did. That's ideally how this situation should have been handled.

Agree. He gave them the old baseball "You're Outta Here" heave-ho signal. I know more about medieval literature than I do about how to deal with an NCAA crowd, but in dealing with my high school crowds, I do not interact directly with unruly fans, I go directly to the site director, and let him deal with them. That's why he gets paid the big bucks.

He is at the table and they are saying things to him. I agree he could have walked away in a perfect world, but usually that is how you get in contact with GM is at the scorer's table. I doubt Hess or any of the officials would have gone to them at some other part of the arena unless they knew for certain where someone in charge could be.

The game manager with the badge showed up fairly quickly. Playing to the moron fans on the way out should have gotten a game ban from the school. Doubt that will happen, though.
