    Referees union maintains Donaghy acted alone
    Disgraced NBA ref reportedly to implicate up to 20 other league officials



    Aug. 15: Ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy pleads guilty to providing tips to professional gamblers about games he was officiating. Dan Abrams speaks with two former mobsters about Donaghy’s possible mob connections.

    NEW YORK - The referees union maintained Friday that Tim Donaghy is known to be the only referee involved in gambling activities, despite a report that said he was about to provide names of colleagues who also may have violated NBA rules.

    The report on 1050 ESPN Radio in New York said Donaghy will provide prosecutors as many as 20 names of other NBA officials and will detail their involvement in some form of gambling, believed to include betting in casinos.

    The offenses may not include criminal activity, according to the report, but could violate NBA policy and lead to firings that would decimate the officiating staff. Twenty referees would make up about a third of the league’s roster.

    Donaghy is so obviously trying to make a deal, or at the very least, get some of the heat the league has been applying to his prosecutors to get his ass, Still, if Donaghy has any proof to merit his accusations we could be looking at a Armageddon scenario for the NBA for not fessing up and covering it up- ouch!

    ....told ya Stern was the devil......

    What accusations? I haven't seen one specific accusation. And even if some other refs are implicated, I doubt the NBA takes much more of a hit. No need to worst-case this without solid evidence like Iraq's WMDs.
