Karl hess

Wonder if he will be back next season? He is a great official and should not be black balled for one mistake. Hope he lands back as he is fun to watch.

He should be done. He's had a few negative episodes, which shouldn't be acceptable at the D1 level.

I recently was at the same place as Karl Hess and he would like to get back on the Court and is taking steps to do that. What Conferences will bring him back..need to stay tuned

Working six Final Fours gives an official a lot of leeway.

He will be back.

He paid a significant penance last year. Hopefully he's worked on anger management and done some quality introspection. If so, I think it's time to move on and give the man a fresh shot. He is a great play caller and has tremendous experience.

He's been held accountable. Time to forgive and move on. I'm rooting for him.

Assignors want people who can get the job done without causing problems that they have to deal with.

Even if the person who doesn't cause issues is somewhat of a lesser official, my experience is that an assignor will prefer that person to the better official who takes up more of his personal time.

My opinion is that Hess had his time and didn't manage it well. It's time to move on and give others the opportunity.

One mistake?
