An independent oversight committee should be formed to evaluate gambling as it relates to pointspreads parlays triple doubles in basketball and unusual, betting action in any gaming. The fact that so many numbers can be manipulated by quick whistles and throwing contestants out of games, makes it necessary to have oversight to prevent corrupt refereeing.

I used to watch sports a lot but after finding out how rigged they are i lost my passion and love for these games and stopped caring about rooting for a team

I realized a long time ago that the NBA is just entertainment just like the WWE. It's not about the sport. I just follow the stories through Reddit and KZread now. I watch games only during the playoffs. It's unbearable to watch a game laden with fouls and flopping now. I remember coming back to basketball after many years, this was when the Raptors were on the rise, first playoff game in a while. I remember setting up our big TV in the kitchen, only for a foul to be called with the first few seconds... come on.

Yea the competition part is gone. The NBA itself is clearly rigging these games. Last season was so egregious with the Lakers free throw differential. The NBA was doing everything they could to get the Lakers into the finals. It was really bad in the Lakers/Warriors series. Lakers shot twice as many free throws as the Warriors and idiot fans were saying things like "The Lakers are a team that plays in the paint" but in 3 of the 6 games the Warriors had the same amount of points in the paint that the Lakers had. And if ya actually watched the games you saw how a ton of fouls were being called on the perimeter against the Warriors. Refs tried to do the same thing when the Lakers played the Nuggets. There were so many awful calls but Denver kept hitting shots and overcame it. Last season the Lakers shot 500+ more free throws than their opponents. And this year they're in the top 5 again in free throw differential while being the team with the least amount of fouls called on them.

In fact, I will even go as far as to say that the league either uses Foster as a tool for artificially creating league-wide parity, and/or suppressing key players and teams. As a Warriors fan from way back the 60s, I recall in the 90s first seeing him and thinking "WTF!" Why does this ref hate my team?! And now today, having Chris Paul on our team makes us even more of a playoff target!! Anyway, screw this dude. The Dubs will find a way to win despite the league doing nothing about this obvious menace. Or maybe he'll finally get caught in a betting scam like his other partner(s) in crime.

I'm a referee who watched the Timberwolves vs Nuggets in Minneapolis. I was stunned at Foster's reffing that game. He has more highlights on the big screen than the players did because he has so many bad calls, all against the Timberwolves which can only make one suspect that Foster getting paid on the side for his performance. I saw that he was right there with clear view of the play and missed making the call on Nuggets fouls and called fouls that weren't there on the T-Wolves, including a clearly planted Karl Anthony Towns who was called for the foul rather than drawing the charge. He needs to be investigated.

10 year rule fixes this problem. After 10 years of service, the door is over there thank you. This would work in politics to. After 10 you just start getting corrupted and bias. Think fans will ever stand up and say no more?

Haven't watched the video yet but I think I know why they keep Foster around. They make him officiate important games because he is able to extremely easily sway the course of entire series', allowing the NBA to predetermine which teams make it to the finals for maximum revenue. I'm not saying the NBA is scripted, but they always want matchups that will make them money, which is why you will never see something like a Cavs Nuggets finals. You can even see this in the in season tournament, the Pacers advanced, so they had to put them against the most popular team in the league so that people would watch. They wanted the Lakers to win from the start so that Lebron can win the first ever IST and when he retires they can name the trophy after him. The NBA likes using Foster because he already has a reputation and is able to get away with things without making the NBA look bad by having every ref be biased. Retired players and refs have even come out and talked about it before, the most famous instance being Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala (obviously active players are not legally allowed to talk about it). If you're the Raptors or one of the less popular teams in the league and you make it to the semis against the Lakers, Warriors, Bucks, Suns, or any team that will make the NBA lots of money, "you need to win by 15 just to win by 1". They call it "fixing" games and it has been a thing for a long time, Foster just so happens to be the most convenient "fixer". They also do the same thing when trying to push series' to game 7 as much as possible. More games = more tickets = more money. Popular teams = more fans = more people tuned in = more money. It is a business at the end of the day and Scott Foster is extremely good for their business. edit: shouldve watched the vid first lmao

Boogie Cousins’ face at 0:11 😂

Classic case of “If it looks and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck”

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. I have a story about Scott Foster, from 1995-96. It came I think three DAYS after the Magic Johnson incident. I was at a Portland at Seattle game. Detlef Schrempf wasn't getting calls on offense, and he was complaining at Scott Foster a lot. He upfaked Clifford Robinson, and drew contact, and finally got to the free-throw line. Scott Foster said to Detlef, "The reason why I didn't give you any calls earlier, is because I didn't feel like it. And, I'm not gonna give you any more calls tonight." Before shooting his free-throw, Detlef mumbled, "F--ked Magic over." Scott Foster blew his whistle, "That's it! Technical foul on Number 11!" The Key Arena went crazy. Detlef was saying, "You thought that I was talking about YOU?" Detlef complained to respected veteran referee Hugh Evans, and Hugh was trying to calm Detlef down. Schrempf kept complaining at Scott Foster. To end the 3rd quarter, Detlef shot a 3-pointer, and Dontonio Wingfield of the Blazers knocked him down at the buzzer. No foul. Detlef got so mad, he slapped the floor. He then stook up, and glared at Scott Foster for a couple of minutes!

Scott foster single handedly killed a huge parlay i had when he ejected CP3 this season. I only had like 20 bucks on it but the payout was really nice, and the CP3 leg was the only one that didnt hit

Know what's odd? When your team at home has 5 tic tac fouls called against you while your opponents have 0 called all within the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter (your teams best quarter) and they wait until 3 minutes left to suddenly call 5 on your opponent. Ever since we played the Lakers I've been tracking fouls and yeah it's a crap. League needs help.

When Eric Gordon got hit on the next play. That was it.

Scott Foster shoulda been out of the league ever since the Tim Donaghy Scandal of 2007. Given that 134 calls were made to Foster from 2006-2007

Scott Foster is the worst referee by far and it’s not even close. He’s a black eye for the league.

That Harden step back was definitely worth 3 FTS. Bruh

If only we can boycott nba till they make moves to correct this smh

Tim Donnelly has something to say about the Title of your Video...being a Bad Ref is nothing compared to being a Ref caught betting on games and admitting to rigging them.

Didn’t realize a ref made a team brick every three lmao.

Don’t understand how a universally disliked ref gets to continue in an association where consumer confidence is key. No one would care if refs were replaced annually if they called games reasonably fairly and without many techs. I appreciate the switch to allowing more incidental contact and less player induced calls. But this guy? I cannot stand to see his face anywhere at anytime.

Privilege and corruption

Teams should granted a referee pick and ban every game theyre playing, just like in some esports. 1 ban ref from each team and 1 pick for each team, then the 3rd referee will be picked by the NBA, excluding the referees each team bans. If this happen, no more games will ever be officiated by Scott Foster.
