NBA Threatens Publisher of Donaghy Scandal
Tim Donaghy, the former NBA referee who is currently in prison for fixing NBA games for a sports betting operation, has been attempting to sell a tell-all book about how the NBA fixes games. The title of the book, "Blowing the Whistle: The Culture of Fraud in the NBA," was scheduled to be released next month by Triumph Books, a parent company of Random House Publishing. The book was going to reveal how he fixed games as an NBA referee. Well, the NBA sent a letter to Random House threatening to sue if the book was published. Random House cowered to the threat and decided not to publish the book. However, there are other publishers lining up to publish the book. So be on the lookout to see which publisher will win the bid to publish the Donaghy scandal.
