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.

Legitimately needs to be an investigation

genuinely don't get how it can be so out there in the open that betting odds are affected, articles are constantly written about it, and still it keeps happening, and still the league does/says fkn nothing about it, just a joke at this point

I’m too lazy to search for it, but I’ve heard mid players talk about how it’s an open secret in the league that the reffing is fixed and the league is sometimes into it. It’s frustrating for the players, but ultimately they understand that feeding the fans the narratives they want to hear increases revenue for the league and the take home salaries for all players.
