This sounds harmless compared to Donaghy. Here we just have guys that are going to get their hands slapped for going into a casino, which is an infraction of the league's anti-gambling policy.

Tough love Bill. I'm still anxious for Sheed to ask a ref how much they have riding on a game when they "T" him up.

Its like it never happened. Refs are the same. Stern has quited down some, we will see if it lasts.

David Stern acknowledged Thursday that more than half of his 56 referees had violated NBA policies about casino gambling, but said none will be punished because he felt the rules were outdated.

Instead, Stern said he is altering the policies, leaning toward allowing referees to gamble in casinos during the offseason -- except for betting in sports books.

Stupid rule, so he's changing it.

Still, he should have probably given them some sort of penalty for knowingly violating a rule, however stupid it was.

Since the others involved in it are outsiders, the things have quietly gone away.
