Roughly half of the games he reffed would have been winners with no influence. of the other 50% of games 27% were winners, and 23% were losers.

You say the ref could’ve just made more calls to get the outcome he wanted when in the 50% of games that needed his influence to get the side he wanted he was only successful at a 27% to 23% clip. Not exactly indicative of a ref being able to blow his whistle and get whatever result he wanted.

C What are the thirty games sample you are talking about.

He reffed 40 games after his agreement with Battista. 10 of those games were so out of hand that he couldn't affect them (no one is claiming he can swing every game, some blowouts can't be "fixed"). In the remaining 30 games that were not blowouts, he went 23-3-4.

There are people saying he can swing every game. when I said that third qtr calls don’t determine the outcome they chime in and say that he coulda made more calls later in the game. then when I say that the ref can’t just up and decide the outcome on his own they balk at it.

This is ESPN's feeble attempt to try and convince fans and viewers that Donaghy was an isolated incident, a true outlier. Couldn't be further from the truth.


So didn’t read the article, just came here to randomly post?

Boom, we aren't whining about the refs, we are upset, and rightfully so, at the reality that officials will call a game with prejudice.

I know of an official in the Monroe area who was fired and fined for blatantly trying to fix a game against Madison Parish and Richwood way back. Was busted on film calling 5 second calls 3 seconds into his count.

Boom stop playing the contrarian here man.

He did. At a 77% clip.

Impressive since you say refs can't affect the outcomes of games.

Look at it like this.

Tim side - side a
Other side - side b

Out of those 30 games, roughly have of them would have gone to Tim side with no outside influence. It’s like a coin flip. Spread is 2.5. Roughly Half the time one side covers, half the other.

so of the other games that would have gone against Tim side without interference, he won just over half of them. To me that is not a strong showing for the side saying he can determine the outcomes whenever he wants.

No this comes from me saying a call in the third quarter doesn’t determine the outcome of the game.

Then others saying the ref would’ve made calls in the fourth to get the side he wanted.

To me saying he only got the side he wanted at a 27/23 clip In games requiring his influence.

Teams he and others bet on covered the spread 80% of the time. It's utterly dumb to not believe he was not directly affecting the outcome of games.
