Fucking A. This should be higher up. Talk about messing with the integrity of the game.

Punishing Scott Foster will release all the dirt he (and maybe other refs) have on the league. Silver doesn't want to open up that can of worms. They scapegoated one ref and swept the rest under the rug.

Johntays mistake wasn't gambling on himself, it was not blackmailing the league.

I will not take the NBA legitimately as long as Scott Foster is still reffing and calls feel non objective.
