For four years, Tim Donaghy bet on NBA games, including some that he officiated. For at least five months -- starting in December 2006 -- he advised professional gamblers about which teams to pick, through telephone calls and coded language. And he violated one of the primary tenets for referees by providing the gamblers with information about referee assignments, relationships between referees and players and the health of players.
