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.

      100% agree and it's a damn shame that the TWO MOST UNIQUE/ICONIC things that we have are barely used to market our product. ICON - Noun 1) special design or visual object representing a quality, type, group, etc.

      Yeah…I’ve seen us in a few different bowl predictions. Not sure it means too much as of right now. Us and UTSA still need one more win.

      A rematch of nUTSAk and TXST in New Mexico seems unlikely to me.

      Construction is finished inside. You can jog laps around the whole concourse to help burn off the calories from the poor quality bad chicken tenders. During preseason games they had all the concessions open and even a full bar concession near the NT Blvd side baseline. To be honest they probably popped all the popcorn during the first game a few weeks ago and will slowly serve it to all of us suckers the rest of the season. And the best food they had, the jambalaya, hasn't been seen in probably 4 seasons. But it's only a 2hr game. Stick a QT taquito in your coat pocket and bring it along if you want "gourmet" concession food. Also, I don't live in Denton and I make pretty much every home basketball game, even during the week. When my office was in Plano you could leave at 6pm and be parked by 6:50. I now leave downtown Dallas, pickup the wife in Plano and head to Denton and still make 7p. And I usually just walk out to the parking garage at 5pm to accomplish all that. If you're looking for better excuses just say the Super Pit seats are uncomfortable.
