King Karl screws up another Big East game; somewhere Dan Dakich is blasting fans
This link to Deadspin has a video from last night’s UConn @ Marquette game that you will find interesting. Officials mutilated the start of an overtime period last night in Milwaukee, casting doubt on the outcome of what would eventually be a 82-76 Marquette victory over UConn and tarnishing the already-black reputation of referee Karl [...]
Dan Dakich on Mark Thomas Show
Dan Dakich was on the Mark Thomas (99.9 The Fan) show today and, we learned two things: he really likes Karl Hess a lot, and he doesn’t care if State fans and players dislike him. We also learned that, based on his response, Dakich clearly doesn’t know Hess was in fact reprimanded by the ACC [...]
Karl Hess to return to ACC officiating
I must admit that this news is a big surprise to me. I genuinely expected Hess to be omitted from the ACC’s officiating roster this season and probably forever. Regardless of this news, I would still be shocked if NC State saw Hess next season. But, the ACC has ‘shocked’ us before. If the truth [...]
ACC: Hess reprimanded (8pm Update)
8pm Update: J.P. Giglio writes that Gugs and Fire were kicked out for “excessive demonstration” (N&O): In the email to N.C. State, Hess wrote: “They were ejected for excessive demonstration on several calls as they came right up to the scorer’s table. The policeman at the end of the FSU bench was warned that their [...]
Hess “naturally has thick skin” (his words)
We’re not overreacting here, and we’re not in the mood to let this go easily. Luckily for us, we might actually have some help from elsewhere in the blogosphere and even from, of all folks, (gasp) the media. Courtesy of Mark Armstrong’s Twitter (ArmstrongWTVD), we’re directed to a 2008 column by Bill Hass, where Karl [...]
ACC’s so called ‘statement’ another slap in the face to NC State (10:10pm)
Why did they f***ing bother? In this statement the conference weasels its way into even more disdain from fans focusing on Karl Hess’ authority to remove Chris Corchiani and Tom Gugliotta, while completely ignoring his controversial judgement to do so. —————————————- Feb. 18, 2012 Statement from ACC Supervisor of Officials John Clougherty on the ejection [...]
Hess Fiasco Update – Yow has contacted Swofford; ACC to issue statement tonight [7:39pm]
ESPN is featuring Karl Hess’ ejection of Googs and Corch across all of their networks during college basketball coverage tonight. Kudos to Andy Katz who criticized Hess at halftime of the Florida-Arkansas game for needing to have thicker skin and pointing out the margin in today’s game was an astounding 18 points at the time [...]
Karl Hess tosses NC State legends out of the game [4:50 pm Update]
In another slap in the face to NC State, one of the “top” ACC officials decided to throw Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani out of the basketball game. Welcome to another example of how awful the Atlantic Coast Conference has become and little league officials value NC State and our heritage and history. Can you [...]
Tracy Smith Suspended for Arizona Game (Updated at 2:15pm)
Jesus. Right before one of our ‘defining’ games for the season. Obviously, Smith should have just called the refs a bunch of GD MutherF’ers right on the court during the game so that he could be afforded the same flexibility that Coach K and Gary Williams receive on a nightly basis. Link to Wolfpacker RALEIGH, [...]
