    That an NBA Ref who went to federal prison for betting on games he officiated called another NBA ref 121 more times during a six-month period (during which he was fixing games) than he did any other referee.

    “Foster is the official who received 134 phone calls from disgraced referee Tim Donaghy between October 2006 and April 2007, as originally reported by FOX News. That was the same period during which Donaghy admitted to betting on NBA games. The report said that Donaghy called Foster more than any other ref and that he didn't call any other official more than 13 times. Donaghy's calls to Foster took place immediately before and after games Donaghy was officiating 54 times.” https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/scott-foster-recipient-of-134-tim-donaghy-phone-calls-refereeing-celtics-heat-game-3/ Like, cmon.. You don’t have to have a smoking gun to know things don’t add up. Donaghy wasn’t calling him immediately before and/or after games to wish him good look or tell him nice officiating.

    I don’t care about either team, but why is it a stretch to say that the league that rigs the lottery and has fixed series in the past is influencing the Finals? Anyone who turns on any game can see that certain players receive more favorable whistles than others. Guys like Dort and Caruso have “tough defender” reputations and are allowed to consistently hack and foul. I suppose one can believe Donaghy is the only ref who ever wasn’t 100% above board, but those aren’t exactly great odds

    Damn good at what he’s there to do, certainly.

    They don’t call Foster The Extender for no reason…

    The NBA desperately needs a new face of the league after LeBron/Curry retire. It won’t be SGA because an unethical hooper will never have mass appeal, but it’s easy to see why the NBA would favor OKC winning to try to push him into that spot. We all just saw the NBA blatantly rig the draft, so influencing the Finals through officiating isn’t a stretch at all.

    To be fair, that video very well could’ve been a best case practice scenario for last year’s team… but, that’s why literally every single person in today’s video is different.

    I remember the video they posted on the first day of practice last year. It really said all that needed to be said about a Mike Woodson team/practice.

    Crazy that Buckner scammed IU to enrich his buddy to the tune of $20+ million yet got appointed to another term. We’ll be much better off when he’s off the board.

    Good thing we got Woodson out when we did.

    IUFB Offseason Updates

    Definitely a concerning statement. It would be such an IU thing to find a way to screw this up. Coach Cig just took IUFB to the playoff in year. When he asks for NIL, the only response should be a blank check.

    Love watching free throw merchants like Brunson lose. Ethical hoopers only please. Now just need the Pacers to take out the other merchant in the West (SGA).
