Factors Contributing to Success in Youth Cross Country
The results of this race highlight several factors that may contribute to success in youth cross country running:
- Consistent training programs
- Proper nutrition and hydration
- Mental preparation and race strategy
- Supportive coaching and team environment
- Appropriate pacing for the 3000m distance
How do these factors specifically impact young athletes in the 9-10 age group? Coaches and parents must carefully balance the need for competitive development with the importance of long-term athletic growth and injury prevention.
Geographical Distribution of Top Performers
The results reveal a diverse geographical representation among the top finishers. Teams from various states and regions competed, indicating a nationwide interest in youth cross country running. Some notable regions represented include:
- Midwest: Louisville TigerSharks, Glen Ellyn Lightning, St. Louis Blazers
- Northeast: Philadelphia CYO Red, Nittany Track and Field
- Great Lakes: Ann Arbor Track Club, Ashtabula County Youth
- West Coast: Buffalo Chips Running C
This geographical diversity raises questions about regional training methods, climate impacts on performance, and the accessibility of youth cross country programs across the United States.
Analyzing Race Strategies and Pacing
The 3000m distance presents a unique challenge for young runners, requiring a balance between speed and endurance. Examining the time gaps between finishers can provide insights into different race strategies employed:
- The top three finishers were separated by only 6.1 seconds, suggesting a highly competitive front pack.
- There was a 23.6-second gap between 3rd and 10th place, indicating a potential breakaway group.
- The time difference between 1st and 50th place was 1 minute and 46.1 seconds, showcasing the depth of talent in the field.
How do coaches prepare young athletes to pace themselves effectively over this distance? What role does experience play in developing race strategy for this age group?
Importance of Strong Finishes
Several close finishes in the results highlight the importance of a strong kick in the final stages of the race:
- McKenzie Vedepo and Hattie Kane finished just 0.4 seconds apart (5th and 6th place)
- Emerson Capper and Alexa Basa were separated by only 0.6 seconds (15th and 16th place)
- Kennedy Allen and Caileen Hisler tied for 44th place with identical times of 14:12.40
These tight finishes emphasize the need for young runners to develop both physical and mental stamina to compete effectively throughout the entire race distance.
Impact of Youth Cross Country on Long-Term Athletic Development
The Cross Country Coaches National Youth Championships serve as a platform for identifying and nurturing young running talent. However, it’s crucial to consider the long-term impact of competitive running on athletes in this age group:
- Physical development: How does early specialization in distance running affect overall athletic development?
- Injury prevention: What measures are in place to ensure young runners train and compete safely?
- Psychological impact: How does early success or failure in national competitions affect young athletes’ motivation and self-esteem?
- Burnout risk: What strategies do coaches and parents employ to maintain enthusiasm for the sport as athletes progress through their teenage years?
Balancing competitive success with long-term athlete development is a key challenge for youth cross country programs. How do successful programs like the Louisville TigerSharks address these concerns while consistently producing top performers?
The Role of Team Dynamics in Individual Performance
While cross country is often viewed as an individual sport, the results of this race highlight the importance of team dynamics in achieving success. Teams with multiple top finishers, such as the Louisville TigerSharks and Brocaw Blazers, likely benefit from:
- Competitive training environments
- Peer motivation and support
- Shared race strategies and pacing
- Team culture and identity
How do coaches foster a team atmosphere that enhances individual performance without creating unhealthy internal competition? What role do team bonding activities and shared goals play in developing young cross country runners?
Impact of Teammates on Race Performance
Several instances in the results suggest that teammates may have worked together during the race:
- Hattie Kane (Grasshoppers-CRC) and McKenzie Vedepo (Brocaw Blazers) finished just 0.4 seconds apart
- Kimberly Diaz and Aurora Natalino, both from Elgin Sharks Track Club, finished within 8.5 seconds of each other
- Multiple Louisville TigerSharks runners finished in close proximity throughout the field
These patterns raise questions about the effectiveness of pack running strategies in youth cross country events. Do young athletes naturally gravitate towards running with teammates, or is this a coached strategy?
Technological Advancements in Youth Cross Country
As technology continues to evolve, its impact on youth cross country training and competition is worth examining. Some areas where technology may be influencing the sport include:
- GPS tracking devices for precise pace and distance measurement during training
- Advanced timing systems for accurate race results
- Video analysis tools for improving running form and technique
- Nutrition and recovery tracking apps
- Social media platforms for team communication and motivation
How are these technological advancements being integrated into youth cross country programs? Are there concerns about over-reliance on technology at such a young age, potentially detracting from the fundamental joys of running?
Balancing Technology and Traditional Coaching
While technology offers valuable tools for training and performance analysis, it’s essential to consider the balance between high-tech approaches and traditional coaching methods. How do successful youth programs like the Louisville TigerSharks integrate technology while maintaining a focus on fundamental running skills and enjoyment of the sport?
The challenge for coaches and program directors is to leverage technology in ways that enhance the youth cross country experience without creating undue pressure or detracting from the intrinsic rewards of running.
Nutrition and Hydration Strategies for Young Distance Runners
Proper nutrition and hydration are crucial factors in the performance and overall health of young distance runners. The 3000m event, which typically lasts between 12 and 15 minutes for top performers in this age group, requires careful consideration of pre-race and post-race nutrition strategies.
Pre-Race Nutrition
What are the best practices for fueling young athletes before a 3000m race? Some key considerations include:
- Timing of pre-race meals
- Balancing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
- Hydration strategies in the hours leading up to the race
- Avoiding potential gastrointestinal issues during competition
Post-Race Recovery
After completing a high-intensity 3000m race, proper recovery nutrition is essential for young athletes. Important aspects of post-race nutrition include:
- Replenishing glycogen stores
- Providing protein for muscle recovery
- Rehydration and electrolyte balance
- Timing of post-race meals and snacks
How do successful youth cross country programs educate their athletes and parents about proper nutrition and hydration practices? Are there specific nutritional approaches that contribute to the success of top-performing teams like the Louisville TigerSharks?
The Importance of Rest and Recovery in Youth Cross Country
While training and competition are crucial aspects of developing young cross country runners, adequate rest and recovery are equally important. The results of this national championship race raise questions about how top programs balance intense training with proper recovery:
- Sleep requirements for young athletes
- Balancing cross country training with academic demands
- Incorporating active recovery and cross-training into weekly routines
- Managing training load to prevent overuse injuries
- Psychological recovery and stress management
How do coaches and parents ensure that young runners are getting adequate rest and recovery while still maintaining a competitive edge? What role does periodization play in youth cross country training programs?
Monitoring Athlete Well-being
Successful youth cross country programs likely have systems in place to monitor the overall well-being of their athletes. This may include:
- Regular check-ins with coaches to assess physical and mental fatigue
- Use of training logs to track mileage, intensity, and perceived effort
- Collaboration with parents to ensure proper nutrition and sleep habits
- Flexibility in training plans to accommodate individual needs and recovery requirements
By prioritizing rest and recovery, youth cross country programs can help ensure the long-term success and enjoyment of their athletes, potentially contributing to sustained performance at events like the Cross Country Coaches National Youth Championships.

The Tim Donaghy gambling scandal not only damaged his reputation, but also ended his marriage to wife Kimberly “Kim” Donaghy. The team is the subject of Netflix. Uncounted: Operation Flagrant Foulwhere Kim appeared and recounted in her own words what the weather was like for her.
This Kimberly Donaghy biography covers information related to her career, age, current husband, and her children. So, bookmark this bio to know more about her.
Netflix’s Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul: Meet Kimberly Donaghy, Tim Donaghy’s wife
Kimberly Donaghy met Tim Donaghy in the early 1990s. The team boarded an early morning flight from Moline, Illinois to Chicago, Illinois, which she was on. Kimberly remembered the moment and shared it on the Netflix show Uncounted: Operation Flagrant Foul“He was sweet and confident like everyone else.”
She added, “and he said, ‘I’ll sit next to you.’ I said, ‘No, you won’t. You’re going to have a seat.’ And he sat next to me, so he made me laugh right away and he made me laugh all the way”. Thus the romance between the two blossomed and the couple finally got married in May 1995 on a beach in Barbados with just the two of them.
By the time they married, Tim had already moved from the CBA to the NBA, but due to his persistently high aspirations, Kimberly continued to help him in any way she could. But according to Kim’s story in the play, after she was hired as a National League referee, her husband’s general mood was completely confident, and her demeanor gradually changed.

When she discovered that he had started gambling despite the rule that he shouldn’t, Kimberly urged him to be careful because the whole family would follow him if he lost.
But Tim’s gambling habit showed no signs of stopping and eventually the FBI got involved and a huge scandal ensued.
Kimberly then decided to move. In addition, she filed for divorce from her in September 2007, just weeks after her husband pleaded guilty to federal gambling-ring conspiracy charges.

According to court documents, Kimberly Donaghy has stated that if she and her husband cannot live together during the divorce, she wants sole ownership of the Dominion Lane home.
The couple had four children, Meghan Joan Donaghy, Shannon Pamela Donaghy, Bridget Leone Donaghy, and Molly Donaghy. Meghan currently lives in Tampa, Florida and graduated from Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School.
Shannon has been in a relationship since 2020. She attended Lakewood Ranch High School and currently works at starbucks.
Another daughter, Bridget, works at Sarasota Chiropractic, Physical Therapy & Massage. She previously worked at Homemade pizza, NUOVO salons, and ultimate beauty. He graduated from Manatee Technical College. His birth date is April 5, 1999, which means that he is 23 years old.
Last but not least, Molly graduated from Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School and later attended Florida State University.

She later introduced him to her on New Year’s Day 2020 and the comments section suggested that they were a couple then. Ken updated his relationship status to “in a complicated relationship” in October 2020. It is unclear whether or not they are in a relationship as of 2022.

A documentary about the 2007 NBA scandal in which umpire Tim Donaghy was revealed to bet on his own games, Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul is unlike any other. That’s because this Netflix original offers an inside look at the whole confusing matter through first-hand accounts (though sometimes different) from those directly or indirectly connected. Among them is the then-wife of the now-disgraced clergyman Kimberly “Kim” Strupp Donaghy – so if you want to know more about her and her current situation, we’ve got all the key details for you.
Who is Kim Strupp Donaghy?
It was around the early 1990s that Kim first met Tim as he was boarding an early morning flight from Molina, Illinois to Chicago, Illinois, which she had just landed on.
“He was sweet and sassy like everyone else,” she recalled in the Netflix original, “and he said, ‘I’m going to sit right next to you.’ I said, “No, you are not sitting. You will sit where you are.” And he sat right next to me – so he just made me laugh instantly, and he made me laugh all the way.” So they began a blissful romance, only to tie the knot (run away) at 1995 – they were just the two of them on the beach.
By the time they got married, Tim had already made his way from the CBA to the NBA, but the flight attendant kept doing her best to support him because of his consistently high ambitions. However, according to Kim’s account in the production, her husband’s entire demeanor was complete certainty once he was hired as a national league referee, and his demeanor eventually changed as well.
She realized that he had started gambling despite there being a rule stating that he couldn’t, leading her to urge him to be careful because if he lost, he would take their entire family with him.
In the end, the couple gradually adopted four beautiful daughters into their lives; Megan Joan Donaghy, Shannon Pamela Donaghy, Bridget Leone Donaghy and Molly Donaghy. They had everything they could hope for while living in a gated community given the fact that Tim made good money from his salary, had a betting scheme, and genuinely cared for them. But shortly after the scandal broke, Kim not only moved out, she filed for divorce — the press frenzy at their front door was apparently (understandably) not something she wanted to deal with.
Where is Kim Strupp Donaghy now?
From what we can tell, despite the fact that Kim and Tim separated for good around 2007, they remain on fairly friendly terms due to their shared past as well as their kind, loving daughters. In terms of her individual position, she has since evolved into an independent service provider in every sense of the word because she earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration while working as an executive assistant.
So today, at the age of 55, it seems that the Bradenton, Florida resident has moved on to work as a concierge at the Sheridan Hotel on Lakewood Ranch.
Kim’s relationship status is a bit unclear at the moment, but her social media platforms make it clear that she has a great support system in her family. Whether it’s her parents, her brother, sister, her daughters, or even her distant relatives, the fun-loving Illinois native is very close to each and every one of them. In other words, whatever it is, when it comes to her personal life, she seems perfectly happy, and that’s all that matters.
“I didn’t do this for the money.” How does an NBA referee live, caught on bets – Free Kick – Blogs
Journalist Pat Jordan spent the whole day with Tim Donaghy and found out how the former NBA referee, who got caught on betting eight years ago, lives.
Disgraced referee Tim Donaghy sees basketball differently than most of us see it.
That is why, after leaving prison, he has achieved unprecedented success in the world of betting.
On Easter Sunday, Timothy Francis Donaghy, “an exemplary Irish Catholic from Philadelphia,” as he calls himself, attended a service at St. Martha’s in Sarasota at 7:30 am to receive communion. “My mom calls me every weekend to make sure I’m going or not,” Donaghy says, adding, “I lived with my parents until I was 27.”
This time, Donaghy attended the service with his thirteen-year-old daughter Molly and with Carolyn Thomas, a blonde hairdresser whom she has been dating for 6 years. Sometimes Donaghy attends Sunday services alone. “I’m a Catholic and I’m used to going to confession,” he says. But at the same time, he notes: “It was difficult to forgive myself. My sins have changed the lives of my four daughters. My wife divorced me. God gave me everything. Great job, money, great family. I knew I was doing it wrong, but I thought betting was a venial sin. That’s why I didn’t confess it to the priest until I was caught.
”
Donaghy was an NBA umpire for nine years until he began betting on NBA games in 2003 – although he claimed in an FBI lie detector test that he never influenced the game with questionable decisions. “I shouldn’t have done that,” he says, “it was too easy to use insider information.” After being fired from the NBA and found guilty in 2007, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison, lost his $300,000 annual salary, a substantial pension, and was forced to pay 19$5,000 in compensation. He states that the amount of bets won barely exceeded $100,000. “But I didn’t really do it for the money,” he says.
A few days before Easter, at 8:30 am, Donaghy and I sat in the kitchen of a modest cottage in Sarasota, browsing his Refpicks website. This is a service with predictions for bettors on sports events, for which dozens of experts work across the country, not only in basketball, but also in other sports. Donaghy himself makes predictions for NBA matches, using his knowledge of the referees in each game.
“I’m the only forecaster in the country who bases his selection on the figure of the referee,” he says. His predictions work 60% of the time all the time, which is 5% higher than most professional bettors, which is why the name of Tim Donaghy is comparable to gold in the world of sports betting. In the real world, this name is mixed with mud. Donaghy is usually referred to in the media with the prefix “disgraced judge”.
Many of Refpicks’ subscribers are gamers with little ambition. They can afford as little as $20 for a basic tip or $299 for a weekly subscription to Donaghy’s bets. Serious players pay $6,000 a year for information and guidance, and some betting sharks pay $50,000 a year for personal advice given by Donaghy over the phone. It shows me profit information for the first three months of 2015. More than six digits. When I start to write down the amount, Donaghy panicked: “Do not put it in the article under any circumstances. Otherwise, my ex-wife and the tax office will be interested in me.
”
“These guys are not professional players. They are successful lawyers, doctors, businessmen who can bet even $100,000 for their own amusement.” But the only thing they want is, of course, to win.
“The NBA is a spectacle first and a sport second,” he says. And referees are what define the league’s dramaturgy. They can make a big difference in scores even if they didn’t mean to do it on purpose: A few years ago, a scientific study showed that in the NBA, umpires gave the home team a slight advantage. Certain judges react differently to some points, which, of course, an experienced person like Tim Donaghy knows. In addition, he knows about the relationship between specific referees and players or coaches, and how all this can turn into a situation on the court. He knows which coaches can push the referee and which can’t, and he knows which referees are more likely to rule in favor of the superstars or whistle in favor of the team or player to make up for previous mistakes.
All of these little actions add up, especially in the playoffs when the games are more intense, and explain why one team advances and another is eliminated – and why some win on stakes and some don’t.
Donaghy works seven days a week, an hour and a half in the morning and an hour and a half at night. The day I was with him, at 9:00 a.m., Donaghy called Danny Bianculo, also known as “Danny B,” a betting expert and radio sports talk show host from the northeast. Bianculo has the hoarse voice you’d expect from someone who predicts sports results.
Danny complains about the weather in the northeast: “It’s still snowing. My Maseratti can’t drive in the snow.” He then asks “How is Molly?”, Donaghy replies “Molly is fine, how is your son?”. Danny says that “he’s playing the sax now, I can’t concentrate on the games.”
They are discussing two NBA games, and Donaghy expresses his thoughts on the referees working on each of them. He says that one of the referees may be under the influence of the coach and whistle towards his team.
Thus, the referee serves the game together with a very experienced lobbyist. He offers to bet on the team of this coach. The referee of another match is not only “not under control”, but does not even give the home team a typical advantage. Donaghy offers to bet on the guests. Both of his bets ended up winning.
Donaghy doesn’t watch NBA games that often, but when he does, he focuses on snippets of the last minutes of a game that ended in ambiguity. “I will look for infractions that the referee missed,” he says. – In a game involving Cleveland in March, a Cavaliers player hit the ball into touch, but the referee missed this moment and gave the ball to Cleveland. Now, having seen a replay of the moment showing his mistake, he will influence the refereeing the next time he works at the Cleveland game. He believes that it is necessary to return the favor to the opposite team. I look forward to the next Cleveland game with the same opponent, which will have the same referee. Sometimes, if a coach expresses dissatisfaction with refereeing in an interview, the referee tries to rehabilitate himself in the next game with this coach.
The second game of this year’s final series is a good example. Two whistles against LeBron James in overtime is a phenomenal moment, so the journalists did not stop talking about it. “LeBron was literally beaten at the moment of the throw, but there was no whistle,” Donaghy tells me after the second game that NBA officials admitted after the game that the referees were mistaken. – There is no logic that the referee Tony Brothers did not whistle this foul. This could have cost Cleveland the game. As well as these two unnoticed fouls on controversial balls. Cleveland got lucky and won Game 2, but those three fake fouls could have sealed the series.”
Donaghy focuses on games like this, trying to determine when the referee makes the right decision, when he makes an unintentional mistake, and when he does it on purpose to get revenge on a certain coach. If the referee made a mistake by chance, then in the next game he considers it necessary to whistle a couple of times in favor of this team.
If he made mistakes on purpose, trying to take revenge, then he will do this whenever he judges a match with a certain coach.
Of course, the NBA denies that referees influence games in this way or that they ever felt compelled to make a makeup call (whistling in the opposite direction to make up for a previous mistake), although the idea is so common that even commentators argue it controversial decisions of the arbitrator. The main result of the analysis of Donaghy’s work is that the judges are just insignificant cogs in a huge mechanism. Donaghy says judges are paid between $100,000 and $500,000 a year, plus reimbursement for expenses and a few hundred dollars in per diems. “We’re on the road 27 days a month during the season,” he says, “which is fine if you’re not in the happiest marriage.” He says referees are petty people with huge egos who are “outraged by the fact that they don’t get the recognition that players do.” They think fans come to see them. The judges are trying to show off like Joey Crawford does.
This referee, Donaghy, is reported to have hit him once while in anger. “If a player is ready to throw free throws, Crawford takes the ball, rushes to the referee’s table and yells about something.” Thus, he hopes to attract the attention of television cameras.
For the most part, says Donaghy, referees get along with the players, but only because they want something from them. “They can ask Michael Jordan for a pair of autographed sneakers and then sell them for $20,000 online. And then they’ll whistle for Jordan.” Of course, the NBA denies this, but Donaghy tells the story of a baseball referee who approached a star player before a game and asked him to sign a couple of balls, only to be turned down by the player. When the player went to the reception in the first inning, the referee did not count three strikes. Before the referee returned to his position, the player told him: “Give these balls to me after the game and I will sign them for you.”
Coaches are another story, as they don’t have anything to offer referees.
“By and large, coaches and referees don’t really like each other,” Donaghy says. “Like Phil Jackson or Greg Popovich. Jackson is a master at manipulating referees by saying that they are always against his team. Greg Popovich is hated by judges because he will never tolerate referee mistakes. He is not afraid of either a veteran with 26 years of experience or a rookie. And he expresses dissatisfaction only if his point of view is justified. Referees also detest many club owners, such as Mark Cuban, owner of the Mavericks. “Not only because he acts like a child, but also because he wants the game to be governed by the rules, without concessions to superstars.”
Beginners are “weak and try to avoid contradictory situations.” But the watchmen, like Crawford, for example, do not accept nasty things from the players in their address. “Crawford once sent off Tim Duncan for making fun of him,” though he was suspended from officiating for the remainder of the season as a result. “Before, referees were like policemen and did whatever they wanted.
Now not, thanks to video replays.
Donaghy didn’t like prison. “Too many criminals,” he says. The men who killed the applicants, the drug dealers, the wives. He called his mother with the words: “Mom, Lord! I don’t belong here! They can kill me!” But nevertheless, he did not stop to hand over the cellmates who make bets. He then joined a gang of nationalists to avoid retribution (he didn’t want to get a tattoo and agreed to have his head shaved).
After being released early in 2009, he returned to Sarasota and slept on the couch at a friend’s office. His daughters were humiliated and his ex-wife hated him. In desperation, he visited his parents, who lived in Jersey Shore. He sat in his father’s office, which is adorned with memorabilia from his father’s days as an NCAA referee. Donaghy noticed a “significant blank space on the wall” that had previously been taken up by a framed newspaper clipping of them and their father as two respected judges. I then asked if he and his father had reconciled, to which he replied that they were on close terms again.
“Did your father return that photograph of you together?” I ask. “No,” Donaghy replies.
We are driving through Sarasota, in an area with block houses and unkempt lawns. Donaghy points to the houses he owns as we talk.
He says his first job after getting out of prison was “adviser at a gambling addicts’ center, but I was never paid.” He had many other offers: from gamblers, from Vegas, from bookmakers, to be an NBA betting expert, but the inspector who was watching him forbade him from taking any job related to gambling until the release period expired. “I was in a very predicament,” he says, “before my Personal Foul book came out.” But the book didn’t make him any money, according to publisher Sean Versher. Donaghy was sure she was trying to steal his money. Versher claimed that she sent Donaghy’s entire royalties to the U.S. Attorney as compensation for his crimes.
“We canceled the contract as soon as he started threatening physical violence,” Verscher said.
“He demanded payment in cash or in any other way.” Donaghy found lawyer Nick Mooney and sued Verscher to get his money back. The lawsuit ended in 2012, with the court ruling that the now-bankrupt Verscher company must pay Donaghy $1.5 million. Werscher’s appeal was recently denied, and Donaghy is still waiting for his money.
When I spoke to Mooney, he said he intended to seek a judgment against Verscher “even if we can get $200 a week out of her salary.” He described his client as “a pretty decent guy who did something really stupid. He is a caring person and a good father. His downside is his character, he reacts to everything too quickly.”
When I asked Donaghy for his ex-wife Kim’s number, he gave it but said “she won’t talk to you”. I called her a few weeks later and she was happy to talk to me. “I never knew Tim was betting on basketball,” she said. “I was only thinking about golf or poker. When he was arrested, it was terrible.
And I knew it was over. Marriage, lifestyle. We had a rather difficult marriage, and this was the last straw. He was never a good father.” I told her that Donaghy said that his daughters were everything to him, and if they weren’t there, he would have jumped off the Sunshine Skyway.
Kim says: “He doesn’t do anything for his daughters and never will. He tried to get me to sign a $100 a week alimony agreement, but I refused. You must understand that Tim’s only passion is money. How to get and how to keep them. (“I have no idea what she’s talking about,” Donaghy exclaims when she hears this.) Kim continues, “Tim has issues with women. That’s why we got kicked out of the country club. Our whole family was rejected because of him.”
Donaghy turns into the driveway of a house that his crew is renovating. A tall, thin man with a bronze tan stood on the roof and gave instructions to two dark-skinned workers. “They are from Lebanon,” Donaghy says. He gives them half of the cash I pay.
Sometimes I buy a cheap house, renovate it cheaply, and sell it for double the price. Just don’t write it. The IRS and my ex-wife will immediately be interested in me.”
Donaghy says he has been renovating houses since prison. Then he did most of the work himself. “I was not afraid to learn,” he says, adding that he would never buy any of his houses. “I donate them only after I have repaired them. Only for cash and good people.”
But the first months out of prison were difficult for him, not only because he struggled to earn a living, but also because he knew that he “would never be able to find a job that would bring as much pleasure as refereeing in the NBA.” I asked him what makes this job so cool – the aesthetic pleasure of refereeing games with the most talented athletes?
“It’s not about beauty,” he says. “It was just hard work. I was part of the company. I refereed the way the NBA needed to referee in order to subsequently work in playoff games. I ask him what he meant by “the way the NBA needs it.
” “If Raja Bell plays against Kobe Bryant and he scores 13 points, then in the next match the referee will be given a verbal order to whistle more fouls. Fans come to watch Kobe score 30 points instead of 13.” Of course, the NBA denies this claim, and during interrogation by the FBI, he was asked to provide evidence of these instructions, to which he replied that “they were never written on paper.”
As we drive through Sarasota, he gives a couple of examples. In a recent game between the Clippers and Golden State, Clippers star Blake Griffin made an obvious foul under the basket, literally strangling an opponent, who then went down very hard. It was such an obvious foul that Griffin should have been sent off, but Donaghy says the game was too important to send star players off the court, which he thinks is why the referee didn’t do it. This moment reminded Donaghy of one of his debut matches, when he refereeed the Lakers game. He called three fouls from Kobe Bryant in the first half, and coach Phil Jackson was forced to bench him.
Jackson was furious. To this, Donaghy replied that he had been instructed by the NBA to record such fouls. Jackson agreed, but clarified that it makes a difference which player fouls. That’s why, Donaghy says, when LeBron James pushes his opponents to the basket with his elbows, he’s rarely penalized for offensive fouls (the league is changing the rules to allow attacking players to be more aggressive).
However, there are some prejudices that the referees themselves bring to the court. When Aylen Iverson, in his best form, ran to the basket, he had exactly the same protection from the judges that LeBron has now. But as soon as Iverson’s game deteriorated sharply, the judges immediately began to fix the fouls that he committed. Why? Donaghy says most of the referees were conservative and disliked Iverson’s extravagant tattoos, jewelry and gangster environment. As Iverson’s game deteriorated, the referees received instructions from the NBA, which pleased them. “Iverson got away with carrying the ball for years until we were instructed to call this foul.
” This claim has been examined by Henry Abbott of TrueHoop, who found no significant change. Donaghy says that to some extent she and Iverson are friends in misfortune.
After he got out of prison, it seemed like the NBA was on a crusade against him. Mooney said the original publisher of the book was supposed to be Random House, but the publisher refused to print it after “the NBA threatened them.” I consulted with Tim Bast, publisher of Triumph Books, who influenced the book to be slated for publication. “While we were getting ready to publish Tim’s book, we didn’t have any problems,” he said. “I believed everything Donaghy wrote, but as soon as we finished reviewing the book, Random House said we shouldn’t publish the book. They didn’t pressure us, they just told us not to publish it.” I then asked Donaghy if he believed the NBA could have pressured Random House. After a long pause, he said, “Yes, I personally think that’s how it is.” (Random House declined to comment).
Donaghy also says that David Stern, being a commissioner at the time, “tried to ruin my reputation as soon as the book came out.
He wanted me to go to jail for 20 years and the book would never come out again. He said he was willing to spend a million dollars to ensure that I never received severance pay.
“Why am I an outcast?” he asks. “Everyone bets money.” He recalls a similar theory when Michael Jordan was banned from playing baseball, suspended from NBA games for betting. Donaghy was about to add the story to his book, but said he “had no proof”. (Stern called the accusations “gross and disgusting”).
Donaghy turns into the driveway of another house he rents out. In front of us, the blonde is packing her things into the car. “She’s one of my tenants,” he says, “she’s moving.” He gets out of his SUV to talk to her for a few minutes. She obviously charmed the owner with her smile. He told me how he once got a standing ovation at a Knicks game. He says that the film company wants to make a film about his life. A museum in Las Vegas is asking for one of his molds to exhibit. I ask if this is the basketball museum.
