Maybe that's how he got caught.
I'd put the odds at 60-40 that he'll turn states evidence.

Gamblers are always looking for an edge. One gambling site actually has ranked NBA officials by how teams do against the spread in the games they officiate.

Jugs - I'm gonna guess it's #21, because that's the age you can legally gamble.

Looks like Rasheed Wallace and Doc Rivers may have had a point. Maybe he was out to get them!

This is a serious black eye for the NBA. They make all the noise about how they're improving their image and their security, and now the integrity of the game is in question.

A sad day for all basketball fans.

Say it ain't so, Tim.

It's more likely he got "caught" by a wire tap that was in place for completely different reasons.

If he does turn I put the under/over at 3 weeks for his life expectancy
