Report: Donaghy made 134 calls to fellow NBA referee NEW YORK — Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy made more than 100 phone calls to a fellow official at the same time he was providing information to gamblers during the 2006-07 season, Fox News reported Monday. Citing court documents and phone records it obtained, Fox reported Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. It's not known what information was exchanged during the calls between Foster and Donaghy, who is awaiting sentencing later this month in federal court. The 41-year-old Donaghy pleaded guilty last year to felony charges of taking cash payoffs from gamblers in the 2006-07 season. He faces up to 33 months in prison. NBA commissioner David Stern has called Donaghy a "rogue, isolated criminal" acting on his own, without the cooperation of any other referees or league officials. "The government had complete access to Tim Donaghy's phone records and thoroughly investigated this matter, including conducting an interview of referee Scott Foster," the NBA said in a statement. "The government has said that they have found no evidence of criminal conduct aside from that of Mr. Donaghy. Once again, the only criminal conduct is that of Mr. Donaghy." According to a story published Monday on Fox News' Web site, the majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred before and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering. Reached for comment by Fox, Foster was asked if he was being investigated by the NBA, the government or anyone else. "Not that I know of," he said. He declined to comment on his relationship with Donaghy and the nature of the calls. The only person Donaghy called more often (150 times) was Thomas Martino, to whom Donaghy has said he provided picks to win games and who was the middleman between the former ref and a bookie named James Battista. During this period, the most calls Donaghy made to any other referee were 13, Fox said. Battista and Martino, who pleaded guilty to defrauding the NBA, are to be sentenced on July 24.

HBU finds conference affiliation Huskies among 2 Texas schools in 9-team Great West Houston Baptist University announced Thursday that it will become a member of the Great West Conference, starting play this fall. The Great West began as a football-only league in 2004, but it is expanding to include all sports. "We are excited about our move to the Great West Conference," HBU president Robert B. Sloan Jr. said. "The identity that comes with conference membership will impact our entire HBU community, including our faculty, staff, students and alumni and help build a stronger campus atmosphere. Our participation in the conference will also provide an array of exciting sporting events for the Greater Houston community." The Huskies will join Texas-Pan American, New Jersey Institute of Technology, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah Valley in the conference. Cal Poly, UC Davis and Southern Utah will compete in the league only in football for now. HBU, which joined NCAA Division I as an independent on a provisional basis last year, filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in March, bidding to shorten its probational period from seven years to three. The case will be heard in Houston on Nov. 10. "The lawsuit does not affect the school joining the Great West," said Tom Thomas, a Dallas-based attorney who is co-counsel for HBU's case against the NCAA. The Huskies will open Great West play this fall in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's golf, men's and women's indoor track and field, and men's and women's outdoor track and field. HBU will play a full conference schedule in men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball and women's soccer starting in the 2009-10 season. The men's soccer team will play in the Atlantic Soccer Conference until the Great West adds the sport. HBU doesn't play football. "Conference affiliation is key to a successful athletic program and will aid in scheduling, fundraising, branding, marketing, recruiting and will give HBU exposure in many areas of the country," Huskies athletic director and men's basketball coach Ron Cottrell said. "We are especially happy that our student-athletes will once again have the opportunity to play for championships and be recognized with postseason honors."

Yea that's impressive!

From Smoaky Jack Bowles confirmed his resignation from Woodville High School, and he's accepted the athletic director and head coach of the boys basketball program at Yantis. Bowles was one of the finalists for the opening in Bullard. He's been to the state tournament twice, and told me he's excited about going to Yantis.
