That's an article about Ed Rush telling referees, possibly jokingly, before a March Madness game that he'll reward them if the T up or eject Arizona's coach from the game. Ed Rush was the NBA's Director of Officiating for about 5 years after Jordan's 2nd retirement; he was in charge during the infamous Game 6 between LAL and Sacto, one of the worst refereed games I've ever seen. |

I think Ed Rush was not going to pay but like the article said he can determine how many games or better paying games a ref can get. NBA better be very careful. This is the big no-no and I would imagine there are few smoking guns. I stand that Donaghy has little cred but if others step forward then he stands on his words. I also stand that league benefits and corruption have been part of professonal sports since the beggining of time. |

It really is ridiculous and I wish there was another coach, like SVG, who would call Stern out directly. Cuban has definitely tried, but it'd be better coming from a coach.
Deadspin ran articles during the playoffs a couple of yrs back where Donaghy would analyze games and discuss why calls were made and the legitmacy of each. Obviously, I read them realizing he was heavily biased against the NBA, but they still were really interesting. Here's an example of Game 4 of the 2011 NBA finals: |

Whenever there is some sort of cheating you better believe there will NEVER be just one person involved, but surely there will always be a fall guy.

I believe it wasn't until last year against Boston when Bill Simmons publicly called out the overall lack of calls on Lebron and the fact he never fouled out of a game in his career up to that point. They played the Celtics in the playoffs game 3 I think, the refs fouled him out of the game on a call that shouldn't have been made as Pietrus actually fouled him. I guess this was another way Stern tried to mock and 1-up the media showing how much control and power he has. There simply isn't an eviler and more despicable person in sports than Stern, when it comes to product and integrity. |
