[just another ref]

I think if he displayed behavior which was unacceptable, the fact that he may be one of the best is irrelevant.

I agree with this. People skills are important.

I spoke with 3 different officials today who all said Hess has horrible people skills and is a little (or alot) touched in the head.

If the above is true, it is pretty amazing that he has been able to rise as far as he has. Poor judgement off the court and poor people skills would doom 90% of officials. He had to have a pretty strong backer somewhere along the way.

When people step on their own hot dog it almost always involves temperament and behavior..You can have the best hard skills/technical skills but if you are a PITA to deal with, people will tire of your act and cut you loose!!
