Donaghy's attorney alleges players, coaches also affected outcome of games

[Gerk]

NEW YORK -- Disgraced basketball referee Tim Donaghy told investigators in the NBA betting probe that relationships among officials, coaches and players "affected the outcome of games," his attorney said.


Donaghy's attorney made the assertions in a letter filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on Monday, in which he argued that his client should be sentenced to probation because he fully cooperated with prosecutors and has been undergoing treatment for his gambling addiction.
The attorney also suggested that Donaghy told investigators about the gambling activities of other NBA officials and about a referee that passed "confidential" information to an unidentified coach.
The attorney, John F. Lauro, wrote that the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District agreed to plea agreements with other defendants in the case, even though his client told investigators about NBA matters outside of the government's initial investigation. Lauro said the disparity in treatment could not be fully explained because prosecutors have "surrounded this case with a cone of silence

When someone can explain the unexplainable things in the NBA then I will believe it isn't fixed.

Teams win by 10-20 at home and then lose by 10-20 away, EVERY SINGLE GAME. There have been what maybe 4-5 away wins this playoffs? But hmmmm...during the regular season that wasn't the case.

I think the coach was Avery Johnson!!!!!

This is old news GFoot. Been saying the NBA is rigged since Stern took the helm.
That's why it's so easy to wager on.
