What I would like to ask him.

Have you ever knowingly made the wrong call to sway the game in your favor?

Are the officials aware of the spreads and totals of the game they are officiating?

Had you ever or did you ever contemplate colluding with another referee in a game to assist you?

Did you ever reach out for help before everything blew up, and if so who was it and why didn't it help?

On a playoff or championship series, does NBA coordinates with Referees to fix games just to prolong and extend the series, thus resulting to more games - more money for NBA?

Did any higher authority (ie David Stearn, Vegas, etc) influence you to officiate a game in any way?

His whole gambling angle was based on Ref's not liking certain players. My question... Does he still pay attention to those Ref's and does he believe that the Ref's still call games differently when their up against players like Iverson and Wallace?

I know this one is going in...

 

You said in the 60 minutes interview you usually nailed 80% of your bets without even affecting your decisions as a referee on a game, then we must assume you are a gambler and not a fixer... if that is true you must definately remember your worst bad beat and the game.... how was it and by what margin did you lose?

If you guys haven't, I recommend reading his book.  I finished it a few weeks ago and it was a nice read.  Very enjoyable.

What is your take on these?

 

Do you feel when you were reffing if you or any other ref had a pay increase salary wise that these incindents would have never occurred?
