The only refs that’s official in my book is Ref Gucci Mane and the dude with the silky voice
Also the "you ladies alright?" ref
Theres a young black woman ref who i think does a good job and seems pretty unbiased. I honestly don’t know refs names unless they are garbage lol so i don’t know hers
Shhh that’s wifey don’t put ppl onto her
Danielle Scott
Good ref’s names should be known too. I can’t remember disagreeing with too many of her calls

Bill Kennedy is the only ref I like because he’s funny
Ref Gucci is the shit
he's like an open secret by now to be honest lol
Dude, that's pretty shady. I mean, who the hell makes 134 phone calls to one guy? And all about gambling too? That's just asking for trouble. NBA needs some better refs for sure.
That's 19 calls a month, 134/7. The only people I talk to that much is my dad.
Honestly they probably used Donaghy as the fall guy and let the others involved with him get out unscathed to try to keep any form of integrity in the game, kinda like saying "Oh it was just one bad apple, everything is fine!". The issue is that by doing that, they were never able to get rid of the other refs that probably did shady shit, due to fear of them going out publicly saying that the NBA let them keep their jobs in the past despite knowing that they were doing shady stuff.
Unfortunately, we will have to wait for people like Scott Foster to retire for him to be out of the game at this point.

funny how the NBA intentionally derailed the FBIs investigation
David Stern was a greasy business man who knew how to do business. The FBI never should have told him
He committed felony obstruction of justice and any normal person wouldve gotten 3-5 years in federal prison for it.
No they wouldnt have hahahaha
No shot he wasn’t going to find out one way or another. Conducting an investigation isn’t really a covert op.
the two other big elephants in the room related to Stern:
- the "frozen envelope" theory around the Knicks drafting Ewing
- MJ's "retirement" to play baseball, at the peak of his career - 100% NOT in any way related to a suspension for gambling

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.
People always bring this up. And Scott Foster is a douche. But it may have been extremely odd for Donaghy to have had these conversations with a specific referee. But Foster was having these conversations with all the referees.
Why is he still around
“If I’m going down I’m taking you all with me.”
That’s why.
He got Adam Silver's dick pics on his computer, ready to be sent the moment he's fired.
What if Scott Foster mysteriously gets killed, you say? A dead man's switch is already set up to send an email to TMZ or some shit.
Don't forget that in a yearly anonymous players' poll he's been named as the worst ref in the league every year since 2016.
"One of the greatest refs in NBA history"
Scott Foster is my favorite referee
...FOR ME TO POOP ON!
There, fixed your post.
134 times in 7 months. You know, I should really call my mom more often.
I wonder if the refs are like the police. There's the cops that are bad and others that allow them to be bad and not speak out in order to stay a ref.
Scott Foster legacy game
Love how everyone is mad at Scott Foster now when CP switches to the Warriors, but when he’s on the Suns they just treat him like a constant for their betting line and laugh at that ridiculous CP playoff losing record with Foster officiated games
Everyone has hated Foster for years. I posted this same thing when he was on the Suns. Stop the victim complex, no one cares about Arizona in general.
The victim complex is insane if you actually think the Foster hate just started lmfao
Yeah, even you know CP3 is a 'good guy' now. That shouldn't have happened. Draymond is supposed to take all the heat off our guys, that suspension tore a fragment in the NBA universe and things aren't right. He's suppoosed to be exempt from those.
Source?
Sports gambling has always and will always be an issue for sports. There needs to be some sort of independent board or something over-seeing all the leagues or the fixing questions won't go away. It's gonna happen to at least one if not all three football games today. Supposedly there is a rumor that the famous Ali poster where he knocked out that dude, he actually missed him and the dude took a dive and Ali was yelling at him to get back up (just a legend but who knows).
Noooo they were just best friends! That's why they called each other so often!
I have no doubt about Foster's decades-long criminality.
I also have seen Chris Paul flop his was through a career.
So I am ambivalent on this feud.
When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
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.
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.

Still convinced Rockets make it to the Finals that year if either 1-2 threes get made or if Scott Foster wasn’t reffing a lot of that series. We were getting no calls and there was a definite bias against us (he had it out for Paul, but Harden wasn’t on his good list either). Guy is a POS.
My assumption has always been the NBA knows Foster is dirty, but if two refs go down the NBA has a gambling problem. Right now the story is one referee had a gambling problem.
134 phone calls.
Honestly fuck this. The nba should have investigated this geaser twat a long time ago. He shouldn’t even be working anymore
It's baffling that we know this, the NBA obviously knows aboyt this, yet still allows this dude to keep officiating & being clearly biased. Adam Silver wanta the NBA to get the recognition the NFL does, yet keeps officials who hold it back & make it easy to not even want to watch NBA basketball. It's insane.
They’re just buddies…
