UK great Scott Padgett and embattled ref Karl Hess had quite the confrontation

Scott Padgett was an NCAA Champion with Kentucky.

In 1997 and 1998, he was named to the NCAA All Tournament team and in the 1998 Elite Eight against Duke hit a huge shot in way to Kentucky winning that year’s national championship against Utah. He is one of the great unspoken players in Kentucky’s deep history.

Karl Hess is a well-known name as well, but for no good reasons. He was literally fired as a referee by the ACC after taunting a Wake Forest staffer and has a history of some of the most outrageous blunders to ever be blundered.
