Haberstroh wrote an article about CP3 and Foster on his substack but he tweeted out this stat and it's astounding.

reddit wants me to add more thoughts so I'll just add that Scott Foster is closely tied with a corrupt gambling ref and shouldn't have been allowed to officiate for the last 20 years.

Foster is the official who received 134 phone calls from disgraced referee Tim Donaghy between October 2006 and April 2007, as originally reported by FOX News. That was the same period during which Donaghy admitted to betting on NBA games. The report said that Donaghy called Foster more than any other ref and that he didn't call any other official more than 13 times.

Chris paul basically said the same thing in his post game interview. That foster has a personal grudge against him and they even had to hold a meeting with chris paul and his family and foster before…

I know and? He clearly deserved that ejection so what's all the fuss?

The fuss is that Foster has officiated games that Chris Paul played in before last night and the ejection actually isn't the only relevant event between these two. Time to put your brain back in.
