  • Whistles & Crimes - Tim Donaghy Interview
    2023/10/23
    Cohosts Sandra and Imman interview former NBA referee Tim Donaghy to discuss his 2007 betting Scandal. This episode was recorded MONTHS & MONTHS (not weeks ago) as part of an ongoing series we want to have, diving into the NBA's 2007 betting Scandal. Tim Donaghy, a former NBA referee from 1994 to 2007, was at the center of a scandal in 2007 when it was revealed that he had been betting on NBA games, including ones he officiated. He pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and received a 15-month prison sentence. The scandal sent shockwaves through the NBA and its fanbase, as it raised concerns about a referee compromising the integrity of the game. But there's a larger story here, one that goes beyond Donaghy. It's a story about the league's overall integrity, from the infamous Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals to the biases allegedly present in the NBA's officiating policies. In our upcoming interview with Tim Donaghy, he shares his criticisms of the NBA's officiating and asserts that the league is biased toward certain teams and players. He claims that that is how he picked winners in his bets. However, it's important to note that despite his claims, and the claims of the NBA that there is no evidence of Donaghy betting on his games, many do believe that he allegedly did. We acknowledge the doubts about his credibility, and we approach this conversation as part of a larger series.  Our interview aims to unravel the complexities of the scandal and gain a comprehensive understanding of the NBA, its systems, and the delicate balance between competition and integrity. This is not an endorsement of Donaghy's claims but an exploration of a piece of the larger story. Again, this episode is part of a broader series that dives deeper into the NBA's biggest off-court stories. In the final episode, we'll interview Tim Livingston from the hit podcast series "Whistleblower." So get ready for an intriguing discussion, where we not only explore the scandal but also have some fun talking with a referee. Plus, we'll pick Donaghy's brain about the NBA's embrace of gambling in 2023 and his thoughts on the steps the league has taken to prevent future scandals. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Off Court Mess
    2022/11/07
    We started Dishes and Dimes to have conversations we weren't seeing elsewhere, we knew it wouldn't be easy but we felt it was necessary to talk about the world around the game.  Today we spoke candidly and respectfully on some of the issues taking away from the on-court storylines and with a bit of humor because if you don't laugh, you cry. But there are some conversations that we didn't feel responsible for leading. We still want to have these conversations, but we want to be a part of the convo and if you'll join us we want to amplify voices that want a space to speak.  Thank you for sticking with us, we love you.  Learn more about your ad choices.
