More on NBA officials

[tomegun]

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.

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."

Earl Strom
