Given the news today, who now is the worst ref in ACC history?

In all honesty, It took everything I had not to put a fifth category "ALL OF THE ABOVE."
:D

That was my first thought.

Frankly, this is really tough. :9f:

Great poll. I vote Lenny...he was the first worst for me, the one I grew up with, and honestly, he set the bar pretty high.

Which is quite a feat given his stature.

That would've been my vote as well. Tough to decide between these sucktacular options.

I immediately thought of Lenny but went with Hess. Also admit to my second thought being, "You suck, Dick!"

Or, "you suck, Richard!" :9f:

=)) =)) =)) I believe I was at the first game with this chant. It occurred after Coach K requested that the Crazies deep-six the "You suck, Dick" chant.

Oh, and I failed to mention that I came up with the suckiest refs list before I saw the options proposed by Lavabe. Great minds think alike???

I WENT WITH Dr Karl Hess also. Lenny is deceased. RIP Lenny. And Dick is a Hall of Fame Referee.......
So many people, coaches, fans, players dispise Karl Hess and his little quirky run and his holier than thou attitude!

Sorry, but HOF status does not exclude Dick from being a lousy ref. He sucked. :9f:

In my reply on the other thread, I mentioned that Hess and Luckie reffed the same game in one of Wake's victories over Duke (including the unbelievable double technical on Paul and Ewing). That got me to wondering:

WHAT's Duke's record like when two of the three worst refs called the same game?

I mean, didn't Dick & Wirtz call a few games together? Or Dick & Hess?

Lenny, all day. Do you guys remember the plucked, plastic chicken dangling on a rope the Crazies used to taunt him with?

I do indeed...and I also remember a "Nichols is worst" chant - so I'm going with Hank Nichols :)

Ray Natili was injured during the Baylor TCU game yesterday.

As I was told today, it doesn't look good. They will know tommorrow.

Ref Les Jones is out for a year with bone spurs and sciatica nerve.


And Dr Karl Hess is out of the ACC league. The ACC will have to reload into the ref pool of officials.
