Not to defend Hess, but Egyptian isn't a race, is it?

Snapping back at a fan is bad enough on it's own.

And I don't think you can say his comments were racist, but when you look at a man with a dark complexion and assume he's of one ethnicity and use that as part of your little fit, you come across as an idiot.
And in this case, you come across as an idiot about to be out of work.

Actually it wouldn't matter to me if he called me exactly what I am, if he's doing it in an aggressive belligerent manner. I'm going to respond as he just challenged me as a man in front of an audience, and b/c of his position he expected to get away with it. Not!!!

You are oh, so right! I doubt even the infamous Ron Cherry has screwed Clemson on as many bad calls as Hess.

It's a great day for basketball, period. Hopefully the other conferences he works for will do the same thing.
Now if we can just get Jamie Luckie fired too...

Apparently Shah has some pull!
Looking at dumb stuff people say, I would say that this was not as egregious as what the Sony execs said in emails.

and Shah.
If Hess sucks at his job, he should be fired for sucking at his job. Partly because he is a ref of college basketball, and partly because he (apparently?) sucks at his job, Hess receives a nightly onslaught of mockery and aggressive taunting. So I'm fairly curious as to what Shah said to him that solicited this response. My guess is that it was somewhat more antagonistic than "I believe you made an error on that last call, referee." OR, if Shah wasn't out of line but just giving Hess some good-natured ribbing, how were Hess' comments made? Was he joking with the guy? That sounds like a comment I would make to a buddy who was teasing me about my jump shot. "Oh? Well get your Italian a$$ up here and show me how to do it."
Refs are humans. If you're going to berate them nonstop, you shouldn't get them fired for saying something as innocent as referencing a mistaken heritage. This decision looks disappointing to me, even if most Clemson fans are glad to be rid of him.

And I've seen Hess respond to fans at Clemson games several times before, often with a vile tone. It was only a matter of time that this habit would come back to bite him. I never see any other officials respond to fans

Bull butter. He won't fired for being offensive. He was fired for being offensive to a "rich" dude.
Had he said the same to me, he'd still have a job.
