The NYP article referred to the official as being male, so we know it's not Violet Palmer.

Also, he was allegedly betting on games in the 2005-06, so that removes the new guys in 2006-07.

So we're left with pretty much every else. I can't see any of the vets being involved. Guys like Bavetta, Crawford, Crawford, Mauer, Salvatore, etc...

I bet the NBA now will go back and look at each of the calls by this official in both of the mentioned seasons, and determine if any game-changing damage was done. I would think however, that this type of damage is detectable by the league.

As for a call missed/made that might earn a bettor some cashola because the call/non-call affected the point spread, that is harder to detect.
