[quote=rainmaker]I would expect them to be fined or disciplined but not dumped. 20 refs from the NBA gone all at once? I seriously doubt it. If betting in casinos is really the only infraction. It's at least possible that Donaghy is using this plus the guilty plea to just save some shred of dignity. The NBA may blow it up big to help him save dignity, but I seriously doubt they'd really dump that many refs.



I AGREE WITH RAINMAKER,THE PRESSURE ON THE COMMISH WOULD BE TREMENDOUS,HEADS MAY ROLL,BUT NOT THAT MANY, IT WOULD ONLY WORSTEN THE NBA`S IMAGE. BUT THE PENALTIES,WOULD BE SEVERE.AND OF COURSE REMEMBER, THIS WAS NOT BETTING ON GAMES.
