FBI investigating ref (Donaghy) who may have fixed games...
NBA IN A 'FIX' | By MURRAY WEISS | Columnists | Steve Dunleavy | Andrea Peyser
July 20, 2007 -- THE FBI is investigating an NBA referee who allegedly was betting on basketball games - including ones he was officiating during the past two seasons - as part of an organized-crime probe in the Big Apple, The Post has learned.
The investigation, which began more than a year ago, is zeroing in on blockbuster allegations that the referee was making calls that affected the point spread to guarantee that he - and the hoods who had their hooks in him - cashed in on large bets.

Most "refs" don't get much pay, so it's only natural that some would see an opportunity to make some big money.
And it's only natural that the mob would get involved.
Wonder about college football refs?
Like the infamous Oklahoma at Oregon game last. Just a coincidence?

The Oklahoma - Oregon Football Officiating Debacle
In football, the judges are the officials. How big is their impact? What truly decides football games - the players, the coaches, or the officials?
As Bob's Blog writes (we use Bob since he is avowedly not an Oklahoma Sooner fan):
" The refs missed a tipped pass that resulted in an interference penalty against Oklahoma, and both the refs and the replay officials somehow missed the onside kick that was touched by Oregon before the ball traveled the mandatory 10 yards.

That is probably a bit too obvious. I think that was more incompetence.
As for this NBA ref, I think the chances of an NBA franchise landing in Vegas just died. |
