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.

Donaghy's calls to Foster took place immediately before and after games Donaghy was officiating 54 times.

The records also showed Donaghy making several calls to Foster on the days of games, generally for no more than two minutes.

The report also said that when Donaghy called Foster, he mostly used the phone that he dedicated to gambling-related phone calls, and the phone calls stopped abruptly when Donaghy said he stopped gambling.

That’s where I’m at. Two turds in the punch bowl. I’m a life long suns fan and season ticket holder and I don’t like having CP3 on our team. It just felt icky to me. I thought well if he brings our first chip it will be worth it. He dormant play the game right. So that’s where I’m at with him. But also fuck Scott Foster in the ass with a flaming sword. He deserves whatever shit comes to him in life.

PS r/nba told me I need to hate Grayson Allen too but I think he’s an alright dude so far. Haven’t seen anything dirty or weird from him yet here and he’s ballin out most nights and seems to play the game right.

"Chris Paul is just so thuggish. Now Grayson Allen, that's one classy individual, I'm sure any dirtiness people see is just hard-nosed to the grindstone basketball!"

I think Grayson has absolutely put a lid on his anger problem and evolved. I'm sure it will bubble up occasionally with him a couple more times in his career, but he hasn't made it his career vocation to be an pedantic, fraudulent asshole the way Paul has.
