3rd time he's been on in about the past week. [May have misheard some things along the way or missed things altogether] http://kilt.cbslocal.com/2010/06/17/tim-donaghy-3/ H: What do you expect tonight? TD: Exciting game. Up until 4 minute mark of 1st, refs may set quick tone and then let the players play. H: [Missed question] TD: As the series progressed, refs stopped calling ticky tack fouls. Showed after the first 2 games and I dont think they'll come out of the gate and have an enmormous amount of whistles tonight H: What is it about Rasheed Wallace? TD: [I think he is.] Has trouble accpeting marginal calls against him and really any player. Has a hot temper and sometimes works against him. H: Crawfords and Foster tonight. NBA likes Joe Crawford. Why does NBA think he is the best? TD: Wish I knew. Shouldnt be doing 3 games in NBA finals. Danny and Scott are good. Though there are other choices out there, he's(Joe Crawford) always in these critical games. H: What about Scott Foster when the news broke a few years ago about you, the relationship between you and him - is Scott clean? TD: Yes he is. A good guy, top official in the league. He liked to gamble on a lot of things but I dont think he did it in the NBA/affected the NBA H: Would the NBA not be pleased that he liked to gamble? TD: No, many guys gamble. When talk about playing things such as cards and golf, many guys like to gamble there. H: With this tonight, what are you expecting? TD: Come out early and set tone so it isnt physical. After halfway of first, they'll backoff. Dont want to call ticky tack fouls and eliminate star players so they cant be there down the stretch. H:[Missed question] TD: When you talk about game 7, they put officials who they think wont get affected by the crowd. Unless they have situation where a team needs to advance, I dont think so. Grading for officials? Probably a C. I dont want to be critical but switching the rules around depending on how the series is going, refs head on a swivel. Things change from one game to the next.
