Scott Foster travelling call

[mogrovejo]

Foster is one of my favourite refs in the league. One of the bests this side of Javie.

FromWayDowntown, just out of curiosity, are you a basketball referee? You write very comprehensive posts about officiating.

I knew somebody would post this bull garbage report that supposedly explains away all the damning cir stantial evidence. I guess I'm supposed to believe two grown men called each other multiple times every day (I don't even call my girlfriend that much!) over golf and basketball? LOL. Anyone with half a brain can see Scott Foster was involved up to his neck with Donague in the gambling end of it and if you ask me it was Foster who was doing most of the actual game 'fixing'.

That is a pretty terrible refutation of FWD's evidence. You just look like a conspiracy nut. Put up some numbers or something. A 7 game sample out of all the games he has reffed is selective sampling.

There is nothing even almost statistically significant to suggest that he fixes any games. As a matter of fact, he is one of the most consistent refs in the league looking at the numbers.

All he did was cut and paste a dumb report that a group of Stern's cronies came up with.

we lost that series straight up, obviously, but the refs were absolutely ing awful. in games one and two, especially one, i was getting soooo frustrated watching the bull unfold, and then again last night in the second quarter. the suns kept getting in the penalty so early in the quarter and then theyd get all kinds of bull and off the ball calls resulting in easy points at the line.

This writer articulates the whole situation very well.

What’s interesting about the Pedowitz Report is that it was really put together, by its own admission, as a “compliance review” and not an investigation into Donaghy. It does cover Donaghy’s allegations – and dismisses every one of them, of course – but that was not the report’s primary concern. The report was initiated to figure out a way to stop any future Tim Donaghys from occurring. Yet the NBA and their cohorts in the gambling world told us that they already had such a foolproof system in place. But the truth is, they could not – and still cannot – stop players, coaches, or referees from gambling and potentially fixing games if they so desire. (Never mind the fact that the NBA could be calling on them to do just that for their own purposes).

During the 2006-07 period under investigation, seven games refereed by Scott Foster had lopsided enough betting on one team to move the point spread by at least 2 points; those seven teams were undefeated against Vegas – meaning that the big-money gamblers won a 7 of 7 times on Foster's games; the odds of that happening randomly are less than 1%. Statistics alone cannot convict, but it's certainly noteworthy that seven times in Foster's games one team was bet extremely heavily, and all seven times that team won," said RJ Bell of Pregame.com.

Nope, nothing su ious going on here. Move along, now.
