More on NBA officials
 
ESPN just reported 6 more NBA officials have been disciplined because of gambling. I think they said their (the NBA) internal investigation found six more officials who were involved.

Poor guy. Ya, I know he brought it on himself, but I still feel for him.

I couldn't find it. It's not on ESPN.com.
Were they involved in what he was doing, or just involved in "gambling." What kind of gambling? NCAA Tourney pool?

Snaq - "Sources told The New York Daily News that the six officials, whose names have not been identified, were found in violation of the league's anti-gambling policy for such infractions as going to casinos."

Thanks; pretty much what I expected. A handful of officials get caught breaking the collective bargaining agreement, but not breaking the law. Slap them on the wrist (probably an appropriate punishment) and move on.

The other six have been disciplined for playing poker for money in the locker room at halftime. Their names are:

Earl Strom
