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.

Makes you wonder if there’s quid pro quo with the NBA and NBA Refs somewhere down the line. Lotta money in sports gambling now.

Probably like if the league does anything the refs say they all bet on the games and the league gets destroyed
