He is the only player in my thirty plus years of doing pool tournaments that asked me to step outside with him. I had made a call in his match that he didn't like, and after he lost he found a perch on the edge of the grandstands where he would harass me every time I was anywhere close to him. Each time I was near him he would make veiled threats against me, while I was officiating other matches. I couldn't kick him out of the tournament because he had been eliminated, so I tried to ignore him. He was really getting under my skin and I truly wanted to accommodate him, but I knew I couldn't do that as the TD.
When one of the players took a break, I went looking for our security guy. He was a local pool player who packed a lot of beef. I explained the situation and asked him to please accompany this guy out of here. I walked him right over to where Hennessee was sitting and pointed at him and said this guy right here. Jon was pissed as hell but I really didn't care. That was several years ago and we haven't spoken since, and that's a good thing.
I actually offered my help to his wife when he was injured a couple of years before in a motorcycle accident, but he had forgotten all about that. She, at least, thanked me the next time I saw her. Earl may have mental problems but Hennessee is a creepy guy.
