Whatever happened to Karl Hess? Is he still officiating. I do remember that the ACC just came to the point that he wasn't to officiate any games an ACC team was involved in. I think he had Chris Corcianni and Tom Burleson escorted out as spectators. OFC

What are your guys' thoughts on refs? Do you think they bring a bias to a game for one team over another? I suspect some do.

For sure. I also think some of them have big egos and love the attention. I've always thought the best officials in any sport are the ones who you don't know their names or notice them just because they are doing their jobs. We do need them and they need to do their jobs regardless of which team may be their favorites. There is no question that they are fans just like the rest of us and springsportsyer I certainly agree that there all some that make calls for their favorite team. OFC

Back in the day when dean smith was at unx you could count on Lenny wertz officiating their games. He loved him some dean and every 50/50 call went unc’s way. It was obvious.

Cost us enough points to effect the outcome for sure. The phantom foul call on Roach at the end killed us. OFC
It did. Mark only played 17 minutes. I knew when he picked up his 2nd foul early it would be an uphill climb. The guys fought hard. I can think of two games where I can blame the officials. This one and '04 FF against Uconn. This one hurts so much more.

Mark and Theo played 30 mins combined....ridiculous

Don't remember seeing Theo in the second half. I remember seeing KoachQ saying that he would have like to see Theo steal some minutes right before Mark picked up his 4th foul. We ended up playing small ball until Mark came back in later
