Yeah I read it this weekend.

Even last night while watching the inter-squad scrimmage for the US qualfiying team. I was wondering if the ref's were fixing it.

B-ball refs have made some AWFUL calls lately in both the NBA and NCAA.

I can't help but think Joey Crawford, the ref suspended a couple months back for some glaringly horribly calls was in on this as well. I read a while back that both Crawford and Donaghy went to the same highschool.....sketchy

I bet that referee who gives LeBron James 5 steps every time is also in on this, oh wait that means the whole league

Yes that is true.

But I saw on a Philadelphia sports show that Crawford didn't even like Tim Donaghy. This came from someone who had talked to him. Still it's possible that they were in on it together.
