Game six of the 2002 NBA Western Conference championship. Cost the Sacramento Kings a trip to the finals. Possibly the worst officiated game in the history of sports. Certainly in the history of the NBA, and even though the NBA officially refutes the claim that the game was fixed it was hard to watch it and not feel like there was something nefarious going on.

The worst call of all time might have been in the 1972 Olympic Men's Basketball gold medal game when a ref inexplicably put three seconds on the clock, after the Americans had won the game, allowing the Soviet Union to throw a full court pass under the basket and make a shot as time expired, again, to win the game 51-50. 76er's coach Doug Collins was on that team. The Americans refused to accept their silver medals, and never have to this day.

Perfect example of why soccer needs to get out of the prehistoric ages, and get some goal-line technology implemented.

Hell I keep waiting for them to put a sensor or 2 inside a football and have a laser going across the goal line. Maybe have red sirens all over the stadium that go off when the plain is actually broken. Not to mention being able to actually put the ball exactly where it went out of bounds on a punt.

I mean, even having an extra camera or two that's ONLY focused on the goal line would do fine for me. I'm sure the technology they implement will be a little more hi-tech than just using a couple of camera's to determine goals and non goals. And I'm looking forward to the games they have already planned to test the technology in. Definitely a HUGE step in the right direction.

Hell I've been waiting for 20 years for a TV that looks like a coffee table....you turn it on though and it's a full 3D of the game, sideline to sideline and goal to goal...obviously doesn't work as well with baseball..but to me..I can live with that.

And it was obvious to everyone ...

In the letter submitted by Donaghy's attorney, the following "manipulation" is alleged:

"Referees A, F and G were officiating a playoff series between Teams 5 and 6 in May of 2002. It was the sixth game of a seven-game series, and a Team 5 victory that night would have ended the series. However, Tim learned from Referee A that Referees A and F wanted to extend the series to seven games. Tim knew referees A and F to be 'company men,' always acting in the interest of the NBA, and that night, it was in the NBA's interest to add another game to the series. Referees A and F heavily favored Team 6. Personal fouls [resulting in obviously injured players] were ignored even when they occurred in full view of the referees. Conversely, the referees called made-up fouls on Team 5 in order to give additional free throw opportunities for Team 6. Their foul-calling also led to the ejection of two Team 5 players. The referees' favoring of Team 6 led to that team's victory that night, and Team 6 came back from behind to win that series."
