If all he can do is name other NBA officials that have played blackjack or craps in a casino, this is a non-story. Sure, the NBA prohibits their officials from visiting casinos, but that is not illegal and is nothing compared to the allegations that Donaghy faces.

FYI -- Donaghy's guilty plea and other information at the Smoking Gun
How is it a non-story?!?!?!!?!? If he names all those refs and they admit or are proven by NBA to have violated the NBA rules don't you think the NBA would be under incredible pressure to dump them??? The story would be the huge turnover in officials in the NBA next season.
