Maybe this was already known, but here is a quote implicating another ref, with logs of times that calls were made before and after a Magic-Heat game.
Donaghy’s phone records for one of those days, Dec. 30, obtained by Fox News, reveal the following:
— 10:34 a.m. – Donaghy calls Foster.
— 10:35 a.m. – Donaghy calls another referee.
— 10:36 a.m. – Donaghy calls Martino, the “middleman” between him and his bookie.
— 10:39 a.m. – Donaghy calls Foster.
— 5:15 p.m. – Donaghy calls Martino.
— 5:23 p.m. – Donaghy calls Martino.
— 7 p.m. – Donaghy referees game between the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic. The Magic win in a rout, 97-68.
— 8 p.m. – Foster referees a game between the Toronto Raptors and the Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis. The Grizzlies win 110-104. Foster and Donaghy speak 12 minutes after the game.
— 11:27 p.m. – Foster and Donaghy speak for at least the fourth time of the day.
— 11:38 p.m. – Foster and Donaghy speak for at least the fifth time of the day.
The following day, Donaghy spoke with Foster at 1:37 p.m., for two minutes. One minute later, at 1:40 p.m., Donaghy spoke to Martino, also for two minutes.

there was a list posted last year sometime that had about 6 Magic games on it that TD was attached to...I'm pretty sure that every team in the NBA has been effected by this...

yeah I remember seeing a list of Magic games he was a part of. But I dont recall any of them having specific evidence of phone conversations between Donaghy and his bookie before and after the game.

I agree. It is time to move on. The league just better hope that Donaghy was the only crooked ref.

I saw that game on TV. It was an embarassment to watch. Wasn't that the same game that Rashard Lewis was obviously fouled and nothing called at the end so the magic lost by one?

Ok because I knew there was a game where the Magic had Lewis and they lost to the Suns by 1 point becuase of an obvious foul by Barbosa and it was not called. I thought that was the same game

Thanks for the Correction Thief. Like I said I knew there was a game where Lewis got fouled. Anyways in the past and I hope Donaghyor how ever you spell his name rots in jail.
