"Man, did I f**k my life up"
Tim Donaghy is the subject of Netflix's documentary "Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul". He is remorseful about the gambling scandal that rocked the NBA.
Donaghy was a professional basketball referee. He officiated in 772 regular-season and 20 playoff games. Donagh was part of the three-man referee crew at the infamous "Malice at Palace" game. In 2007 he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting wagering information through interstate commerce.
"I made some mistakes and I made poor choices. It is what it is, and unfortunately, I have to live with it."
Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in prison for his role in the gambling scandal. He is now a Major League Wrestling referee. NBA Commissioner David Stern revised and changed the rules for the league's referees. The ban on gambling is too harsh, so Stern wants to change it. "I'm the CEO of the NBA and I'll take responsibility," he said.
