NBA referee Tim Donaghy made repeated phone calls to a second referee at the same time he provided inside information to professional gamblers during the course of the 2006-2007 season, according to court documents and phone records obtained by FOXNews.com.

The records show Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. The majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred prior to and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering.

With the exception of 150 calls Donaghy placed to Thomas Martino, to whom he says he provided “picks” to win games and who was the middleman between the disgraced referee and a bookie named James Battista, the ex-ref phoned no one more than he called Foster. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13.

Yeah, sure Steve Javie, Scott Foster is the best of the best.

Not surprised by the lack of scoring in the 1st quarter. Nervousness and guys being tired will make that happen.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

I don't care what kind of game it is as long as the Spurs win.

That's a backcourt violation? So if a team loses the ball and it goes in the backcourt, there's no legal way for the that lost it to retrieve it?
