Fixing The NBA's Image Problem

Found May 28, 2008 on Legend of Cecilio Guante:

No, not that image problem. There are plenty of 60 year old white men worrying about that. I'm talking about something that's actually a serious problem for the NBA, the refs. We bitch about football refs, baseball umps, and hockey refs all the time. Right now MLB umpires are under fire for a slew of botched home run calls. But, do we ever think that the NFL, MLB, NCAA, or NHL referees/umps purposely tank games? Long before the Tim Donaghy fiasco broke, my old man refused to watch the NBA because he was convinced that all NBA games are fixed.
