Dateline : Chicago:
David Stern insisted today that only 3 rogue referees were in the game and that no others were point shaving. This after a NBA referee named two other referees and they entered a guilty-plea.
Mr. Stern said "It feels like I've been asked about beating my wife" to a question about how many other referees were on the take. Mr. Stern assured his fans and the reporters that the NBA has fool-proof mechanisms to keep this from happening, but they were secret and he wouldn't tell them what they were.
