Any chance ESPN will hire Hess to do post-game commentary on the performance of the officials? Maybe with interviews afterward to discuss the most interesting calls during the game? Maybe they could get the officials body microphones so fans don't miss all the witty banter down on the court?
I sure hope not. That assclown on Fox that does the NFL games and tells us why the referees are right and "accurately" predicts the ref's decision seconds before they announce makes it very difficult to watch an NFC game.
Joe Buck.
I think he's talking about Mike Pereira.

What was the BSD tweet in reference to? I don't remember any huge NCAA happening.
I vaguely recall something about a double foul maybe??
So this story has passed. Karl Hess will continue to do many of the big games (like tonight for instance) for the next decade +--including ours. Some will think he's a racist because we didn't correct the out of context tweet. Karl's buddies (also those who regularly ref our games) will remember that Wake Forest left him out to dry as its former trustee and one of our main fans made a 1am tweet which was construed as a racial allegation (even though he didn't mean it as such) and then neither he nor the University corrected it while it festered in the public eye.
I get the mistake Mit made here. Social media is a dangerous thing & what is "guy talk" just doesn't look the same when printed out of context on ESPN the next day. Much like the Buzz hire, however, what I'm not ok with is not fixing it. It simply isn't fixed in meetings or phone calls amongst those who have made a nice living off an athletic system that they didn't create. And now it's probably too late too fix it.
Very disappointed in what happened here. We really put a black eye on one of college basketball stalwarts. It didn't have to happen. And it could have been minimized with a little humble pie that we were too proud to deliver.
So was Mit pro or anti-Bz? I need to know whose side I should take on this. I'm impressed that he was in Winston for a 8 pm Sun night game, though.

So he was fired for saying Egyptian ass? Wow what a country we live in now.
For all we know Mit well could have said 'my Egyptian ass can outreff you'.
We're all entitled to our opinion I guess but I ask you this: do you watch Karl Hess ref 10-12 games a year in person? Do you even attend 10-12 college games a year? If not, I'm not really sure your opinion is all that educated. Sorry.
