What an idiot. Though I'd be curious to know what Shah said beforehand, something tells me it wasn't completely unprovoked. Hope the Big East follows suit.
So what did he say that was bad.
March Madness starts in November
He goofs around a lot? Yeah, King Karl (who is quite liberal with his ejection finger) has a real great sense of humor!

Dangerous for me to comment on without knowing the exact context and whether or not they're close, but if they have a relationship and he was just busting Shah's chops it appears like a politically correct overreaction by the media. My friends and I say stuff like that to each other all the time.
It is hard for me to be unbiased as I think Hess is one of the biggest turds in college officiating. And I do not mean to be unkind to turds with that comment.
I am not a fan of Karl Hess, but I don't think its bad enough to warrant being banned from a league. He definitely shouldn't have said it but come on. He didn't use a slur. He called a guy a race that he is. Suspension probably but banning? No way.
