--------
Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy revealed that despite an ongoing FBI investigation in 2006 about his gambling activities, he continued with the conduct unperturbed. He also mentioned that he was always involved in these gambling acts with his acquaintance Jack. This period of his life was infamous not only due to his professional misconduct but also his personal disposition towards anger. He was considered aggressive and was sued by his neighbors for privacy invasion. He confessed that he would lose his temper when he felt wrongly treated. This led to another incident where he chased his mailman across the street, leading to a police complaint against him. Tim was also suspended from NBA playoffs one season due to a fight against his colleague, Joey Crawford. This incident emerged from a disagreement at a referee meeting where Tim ended up punching Crawford.
