Chris Sheridan of ESPN.com sheds more light on which referees were contacted by the league and the government in the post-Donaghy investigation of impropriety.
Sheridan quotes Hue Hollins (who revealed he'd been asked about Dick Bavetta in this morning's New York Times) from an interview with "Outside the Lines," speaking more about the Bavetta questions. Sheridan also combines the other ref comments to date:
So the feds haven't talked to Bob Delaney, and they haven't talked to Ted Bernhardt. Yet they're asking former refs about Bavetta … and the league's refusing to allow anyone to interview Bavetta. And they've singled out Game 6 clips for removal from YouTube.
What Bernhardt (who no longer works in the league) had to say to ESPN is interesting:
He admitted after the game the crew had a bad night, but stands by his own calls. Which logically means he feels Bavetta and/or Bernhardt wasn't "very good."
I think everyone's on Bavetta Watch at this point. Something's odd about the way the NBA has handled him.
