As online sports gambling explodes and is intertwined with leagues, Tim Donaghy, the disgraced NBA referee and an expert in the pitfalls of corruptibility, doesn’t believe a player or referee will follow in his footsteps.
Instead, Donaghy sees the lower-level employees as the conduit of inside information to gamblers.
“I think the players make too much money. I think the referees, after my situation, I don’t think it would be a referee,” Donaghy told The Post. “I think it’ll come down to maybe a trainer or somebody that has information before it hits the open market about players being sick or players being injured. I think that’s how stuff is going to leak out.”
