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.

https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/scott-foster-recipient-of-134-tim-donaghy-phone-calls-refereeing-celtics-heat-game-3/

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.

Yeah I don’t give a flying fuck about “favorites”. Utterly meaningless and adds nothing to the discussion.

Giannis would not have a ring had Scott Foster not been refereeing those Finals games.

Nba is already rigged to an extent. Gsw and lakers have won titles where refs favoured them. Theres other series and teams for sure too

Foster 100% has information on people within the NBA. I’d assume the type of information that would ruin lives which is why he’s untouchable.

Scott made cp3 miss all those shots

Foster was likely a secret informant (aka “whistleblower”) and in exchange he was guaranteed his career and pay.

I’ve recently gotten into euroleague.

I haven’t watched more than 10 minutes of nba game all year.

This bullshit makes me even more confident I made the right choice.

Basketball is so easy to manipulate with a few early seemingly meaningless calls. It's better now but 80's an 90's and 00's it was pretty close to pro wrestling levels of scripting

Scott Foster needs to be gone. The fact that he has this amount of notoriety around the league and the entire fanbase is a horrendous distraction to this beautiful game.

Least biased NBA ref

This ejection was all cp3s fault. Needs to stop playing victim.

Fans need to give the commissioner hell. Refs are ruining the sport just like boxing.

[–] reddituser43211234@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is ruining the integrity of the game. When an official becomes a household name it should be time for them to leave the league. Make them sign an NDA if needed, just do whatever you have to do to get rid of the referees with the huge egos. Fans or not paying to see them.

I ask this every time this comes up.

Can any one provide examples of bad calls or "swing" calls Scott Foster in any of these games? It's always radio silence.

There is legitimately no evidence Scott Foster is causing Chris Paul to lose other than the fact Chris Paul loses when Scott Foster is around.
