For those of you who are not familiar with gambling, the point spread is no the only statistic wagered. There is a little thing called the "Over/Under" line. A few extra foul calls on each side wouldn't necessarily be obvious, but would add a few extra point to the total score, possibly enough to push the score above the "Over" line.
Tim Donaghy led the league in technical fouls assessed, which might be an indication of this type of "game management skill". Soon enough I'm sure there will be an analysis of all the games he worked and how they rated against the various spreads.
