Delco Native, Former NBA Ref Tim Donaghy Wins $1.3 Million Lawsuit


A Florida jury has ruled in favor of Tim Donaghy—the Delco native who was banished from the NBA for gambling on games while he was a referee—in a $1.3 million lawsuit against the publisher of his book Personal Foul: A First-Person Account of the Scandal that Rocked the NBA. The former referee sued the publisher of his book, alleging that he hasn’t seen a dime of profit from it. The woman who owned the company that produced the piece says that Donaghy threatened her. She will likely appeal the ruling. [Daily News]
