Funny to hear comments from media-types on the Tim Donaghy scandal wondering how one official can really have that much effect on a game.    I have always felt that the one way that officials can really do this is to influence the total.  All they would have to do is continue to blow the whistle and call fouls.  When looking at Donaghy’s stats from the ‘06-07 season, it is definitely not shocking to me that 43 out of 72 contests went OVER the total.  He ranked second of all league officials in % of games that went OVER the number.  Would not suprise if that is how he attempted to influence the outcome of certain games.
