"FBI Investigates NBA Ref Who Allegedly Fixed NBA Games"


  

          

not sure who the "alleged" ref would be (Joey Crawford?), but maybe Mark Cuban was on to something.

Ref allegedly fixed NBA games
Posted: Friday July 20, 2007 08:15AM ET

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. One source close to the probe counted the number of games on which the ref and his wiseguy buddies scored windfalls in the "double digits." NBA Commissioner David Stern is aware of the investigation and has a report about the referee on his desk, another source said. The official, whose name was withheld, allegedly wagered on games during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 NBA seasons.

                                    Donaghy is about to destroy the NBA, Vick merely dented the NFL.
