Former NBA ref Tim Donaghy called in to the SBR.tv studios last week to do a phone interview with SBR.tv's Peter Loshak. Loshak questioned Donaghy about his past experiences as an NBA ref betting on NBA games, Donaghy's opinions on sports betting and NBA betting in general, and what he thinks we might expect from the NBA in the 2010 playoffs and Finals, as well as next year's regular season. In 3 parts.
Part 1: Experiences and Opinions on Reffing Games
Topics include what Donaghy did and didn't do while an NBA ref, what the NBA could do to fix the problem of ref bias in the future, and Donaghy's recent 13-1 run of success picking NBA playoff games.
Part 2: Sports Betting in General
Topics include Donaghy's opinions on the legalization of sports betting in the U.S., and possible overcompensation by the NBA in response to his accusations. Loshak and Donaghy also make fun of the ESPN interviewer who knew little about sports betting.
Part 3: The 2010 Playoffs and '10-'11 Regular Season
Topics include the 2010 NBA playoffs and next year's regular season.
