Jason Williams not playing tonight.
D'oh! Missed the obvious.
Best Waffle House located in Aiken or North Augusta or somewhere.
So there will be retribution against Wake bball for this?
Do you think it's possible for it to get so bad that Devin might take 18 shots in the lane and the refs don't call a single foul all night?
It couldn't get that bad, could it?

And it could have been minimized with a little humble pie that he was too proud to deliver.
Good grief. How could that be? I just don't see how those words fit together.
Completely unquantifiable and a self-fulfilling prophesy that you'll use to justify every bad call against Wake until the end of time.
"A source told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that Hess' termination was the result of accumulated incidents in the ACC."
Looks like his compadres will have to job a few other schools too. ESPN also hinting that Hess may be hanging up his whistle ... "Hess had been scheduled to work an AAC game between Houston and Memphis on Sunday, but he has chosen to step away from his remaining assignments with the league. Hess, who also works for the Big 12, Big East and SEC, may do the same with all of those leagues as well."

A couple of points:
1. If the refs do retaliate against us, how will we be able to tell?
2. If Mit was strongly pro-[Redacted], then by helping us get rid of Karl Hess, he has taken a big step toward making amends.
3. Complaining about the reason, albeit silly as it was, for the ACC dumping Karl Hess is sort of like complaining that they convicted Al Capone for income tax evasion and not some of his more heinous crimes.
We got rid of a pompous, incompetent ass. Let us enjoy it.

Ironic that Karl got axed due to a bad call (Egyptian instead of indian descent).

Idk, but my guess is that Wellman will hire him on the DL, just like he did Casstevens, and give him a high-ranking position in the Athletic Department.
Hess gets what Hess gets. I'll see you on the Quad, and all that. But...if I'm on the board of that company, do I enjoy reading my company's name and that of a senior executive officer in the headlines over a shouting match at a basketball game? Do I enjoy seeing same individual tweeting out half of said shouting match in what looks like a coy attempt to get someone who makes A LOT less than said officer fired (even if warranted)? This isn't a great look for the Bz cheering section.

I am going to guess they don't care as long as he is running the company well (and given the fact that he is the founder, is a featured speaker in many national publications, sits on various boards etc. that do good things for the company's image). He also isn't in the headlines over a shouting match, he is in the headlines because a ref made a racist comment about him. I have yet to see an article to portrays Mit in a bad light.

lulz. I'm sure Mit Shah is really worried about this.
Do you believe that Karl Hess singled him out of the crowd out of unprovoked spite? Nobody thinks it was warranted, but tweeting out half of a conversation to get someone who makes a fraction of your monthly salary canned just looks petty to me.

No, but no articles are talking about a heated shouting match. It is being portrayed in the media as Hess making a racist comment and getting canned. If you think people are reading that, thinking through the fact that Mit might have said something first that deserved that response and are then going to take any action that in any way impacts Noble then I have a bridge to sell you.
