Foster is the official who received 134 phone calls from disgraced referee Tim Donaghy between October 2006 and April 2007, as originally reported by FOX News. That was the same period during which Donaghy admitted to betting on NBA games. The report said that Donaghy called Foster more than any other ref and that he didn’t call any other official more than 13 times.
Donaghy’s calls to Foster took place immediately before and after games Donaghy was officiating 54 times.
The records also showed Donaghy making several calls to Foster on the days of games, generally for no more than two minutes.
The report also said that when Donaghy called Foster, he mostly used the phone that he dedicated to gambling-related phone calls, and the phone calls stopped abruptly when Donaghy said he stopped gambling.
People always bring this up. And Scott Foster is a douche. But it may have been extremely odd for Donaghy to have had these conversations with a specific referee. But Foster was having these conversations with all the referees.
