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.

Maybe Mark Cuban isn't paranoid after all!

This could be huge. So what does the NBA do if it finds that the final outcomes of games actually changed because of this guy's partial officiating?

Nothing other than fire his ass.

I was gonna say... :rolleyes:

Gary Betteman. Or, Isaiah Thomas when he ran the CBA.

Being horribly unethical or shamefully incompetent doesn't make you the 'worst' anything, especially not sports commissioner.

Are you saying that bankrupting a league is worse than a betting scandal?

What would Bart Giamatti say to that? Or Paul?

Those studying Donaghy's games might have noticed some trends.

When the home team was favored by 0-4½ points, it went 5-12 in games officiated by Donaghy this season, according to Covers.com, a Web site that tracks referee trends. Home underdogs were 1-7 when the spread was 5-9.5 points.

Donaghy was part of a crew working the Heat-Knicks game in New York in February when the Knicks shot 39 free throws to the Heat's eight, technical fouls were called on Heat coach Pat Riley and assistant Ron Rothstein, and the Knicks won by six. New York was favored by 4½.
