Now that Judge Mike Wood is out of the ACC, Karl Hess is the worst official in the conference and by many first hand accounts an even worse person. #FireHess
Luckie is a good ref but calls out of his zone way too frequently. Also thinks he lets his emotions get the better of him too often.

I completely agree that people need to use judgment etc. and Hess's actions were over the top and ridiculous, I was just pointing out protesting and refusing to leave with do nothing to help.
I still don't agree how this is being handled by our AD. It's not 1995 anymore. A couple of backdoor phone calls doesn't clean this stuff up. Unless Mit really was offended and considers Karl's comments racist, he himself needs to address the situation. The tweet, followed by the refusal to answer questions, creates what (I suspect) is the false impression that Mit thinks Karl is a racist.
If you wait, the story passes and Karl has been hung out to dry. Bad decision for WF. Ron Wellman has been a great athletic director for us in this last era. The world has changed however. Our next AD needs to understand the realities of social media and how to quickly and appropriately. Delays and uncertainties can speak volumes--even when that is not the intent. Bubba Cunningham, for instance, (like most Ads) is an active participant in social media and he uses it to UNC's advantage. We need to join in so we do not continue to fall behind competitively.
Some guy thinks I go to 10-12 games a year. That's funny. I've been to 12 in the last 20 days. In 5 states.
Wait, someone said Karl made a tweet. What was it? Sorry, was too busy working and missed it.

How is it being handled by our AD? I haven't seen any indication that our AD has done or said anything.
Maybe he does feel Karl's racist. I have no idea about the dynamic of their relationship. The guy did call Mit an Egyptian when he's not from anywhere closet o Egypt.
We keep harping on the fact that he is Indian and not Egyptian (not in this post from numbers, but just sparked the though). That, itself, is inaccurate. Mit is as American as they come. He was born in NJ and grew up in Winston. He his of Indian origin and (I think) his parents are from India, but he himself is just as American as Mr. Hess.
