How Is This Ref Still Allowed In The NBA? 

Should Scott Foster still be allowed to ref NBA games?

52 free throws against the warriors in the phoenix game btw was absolute filth

Every time Scott Foster is the ref in a game you are watching, turn the game off. Then the NBA will have to get rid of him. He's corrupting the game

All NBA refs should have to answer to the media. Screw their union stance on this.

Nba needs to investigate every bad call or technical calls the reff make, if found guilty they should be fine.... that will eliminate alot of bad calls and reff taking their personal bis on the court

my gut feel is that he has something that the NBA doesn't want to be known to the public. Therefore, he is able to keep his place in this organisation. That perhaps, the cost of losing him is more than the cost of keeping him and making sure it stays silent. Can you imagine if it is known that NBA championships are actually rigged? that would certainly hurt the stock of the NBA

"I wish the NBA was a league where we didn't know the refs' names."

He is allowed in the NBA because the NBA has tried hard to cover up all the ref gambling... by getting rid of him they would essentially be acknowledging that their league was corrupt and not legit for some time and it would hurt their image badly. The league feels they are (slightly) better off pretending like nothing happened and that Scott is just a polarizing person.

Knowing how to fix games subtely is a real skill, the NBA aint gonna let him down

29 seasons of 0 accountability

Acording to Gilbert Arenas who explained it on his yt show, Scott Foster cursed out CP3's son after a game for dribbling a basketball in his way. CP wanted to lay hands on Foster for it which led to the meeting.

Scott Foster needs to be fired!!!

Would love to see his stats Vs the Warriors

The reffing is the one and only thing that makes nba games often times not entertaining and frustrating or depressing. The refs should have to be as good at what they do as the players are at what they do.

He’s got something on someone who’s higher up. That’s the only answer that makes sense.

Based on this information, the NBA needs to have an investigation and make an example of Scott Foster. There is no doubt he is corrupt, petty, and biased. He absolutely should not be allowed to referee Warriors games. On a side note, I believe that the NBA referees have a union, and if anyone has ever been in management and if you’ve ever had a problem employee who somehow slipped through the cracks and gotten seniority, it is virtually impossible to fire them, unless they do something really really bad and it’s well documented. Some unions are really strong, and as their #1 purpose (Unions) is to protect workers from potentially abusive and bad management practices, unfortunately, the double edged sword is that while good employees are protected from potentially corrupt managements, terrible employees are also protected and good managers can’t fire them.

Imagine how many coaches lost their job and players didn't get a ring because of this beef!💯💯 SHEESHHH

Scott Foster is the Dillon Brooks of officiating

Excellent video and commentary. Thanks.

The problem is the Refs are making things too personal. Its entertainment! Just make the right calls and if you make a mistake, own it, make the correction, and move on with the game. Once I saw Giannis get ejected for dunking on someone a few weeks back, I knew the situation was at its worst. This issue with Chris was just more confirmation. Scott has been a questionable ref for some time now because he was implicated in the referee gambling scandal some years back, so you always have to scrutinize his calls.

The question is why is that ref talking about CP3's son?

Great content. Excellent homework

This is nuts. NBa lets it slide without questioning?

If James harden say you are rude and Arrogant, you are out of this world it came from James harden's mouth😂

Gilbert said what happened on his channel. Not gils arena but on his youtube channel when he is just blogging in front of his camera. Chtis paul's son was playing outside the locker room, where he was he wasnt wrong for being there but he was in the hallway. Foster comes by on the golf cart things yelling at his son to move the "Eff" out of his way. Word got back to Cp3, that meeting was had that he spoke about, nothing got resolved. Only thing they could come up with was scott wont ref his games but he still ended up reffing games obviously and now we here.

He’s Adam Silvers puppet! That game was disgraceful!

Great question and great reporting. Now I wonder if Foster doesn't impact some outcomes in games that he shouldn't? Why does he still have job? I wonder if he has some compromising pics of someone?

That shot of Boogie shaking his head at Foster is gold!!

Holy shit. Great work.

Scott Foster just handed Cleveland a victory over Minnesota last night.

999 LIKES LOVE YOUR STUFF MAN I ALWAYS WATCH! KEEP UP THE HARD WORK! #DUBNATION

its honestly insane they let this happen

Wow!!!!??!!! This video is really eye opening especially toward the end there about that officiating scandal 😳😳😲😲🚿💳😎 Thank you and great detective work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️

Excellent video!

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American and male. I have a story about Scott Foster, from 1995-96. It came I think three DAYS after the Magic Johnson incident. I was at a Portland at Seattle game. Detlef Schrempf wasn't getting calls on offense, and he was complaining at Scott Foster a lot. He upfaked Clifford Robinson, and drew contact, and finally got to the free-throw line. Scott Foster said to Detlef, "The reason why I didn't give you any calls earlier, is because I didn't feel like it. And, I'm not gonna give you any more calls tonight." Before shooting his free-throw, Detlef mumbled, "F--ked Magic over." Scott Foster blew his whistle, "That's it! Technical foul on Number 11!" The Key Arena went crazy. Detlef was saying, "You thought that I was talking about YOU?" Detlef complained to respected veteran referee Hugh Evans, and Hugh was trying to calm Detlef down. Schrempf kept complaining at Scott Foster. To end the 3rd quarter, Detlef shot a 3-pointer, and Dontonio Wingfield of the Blazers knocked him down at the buzzer. No foul. Detlef got so mad, he slapped the floor. He then stook up, and glared at Scott Foster for a couple of minutes!

We as viewers and fans and lovers of the sport should come together somehow and act as one and send the nba a massage and stop watching if this doesn’t get fixed! What about the lakers warriors last season? How long do we put up with this!?!?! But not much the little man can do. And it is almost impossible for people to stand together on this?? This video is well done and great. But it makes me mad! How can he get away with this? Please hoops… make more of these videos. Expose the referees! And we can only hope that other will follow then. And maybe that could be the start for us to come together and demand a change - if they want that new TV deal !!! They need us!!!

Thanks for mentioning the rigging. After watching the Untold doc I cannot see the league thr same way

This sounds a lot like that situation that occurred with Allen Iverson and that one ref where he's on record as saying that they came together and put a hit out on Allen Iverson and we're going to call everything they could think of on him to show him who's in charge and teach him some respect. Another name that comes to mind is Hugh hollins, that rough right there changed the course of Scottie pippen career and an entire season of NBA and quite possibly who may have won the championship that year after Jordan retired

“The extender” was a part of the betting scandals as well

What kind of baggage does Scott foster have on the NBA to be letting this slide for so long

Gils Arena gave good info today on the situation

This kind of youtube video should be watched by the NBA

Damn! I didn't watch OKC game at live. They should've advanced to the 2nd round.

Thanks for the clarity. I think that you, the teams, and the players should petition the NBA to relegate this guy to desk duty if they can’t permanently ban him from playing in the NBA.

Changes must be made period. As fans we shouldn’t have to endure an emotional referee while watching an forced emotionless game. No celebrations, no taunting, no hyping the crowd up. The game is dying because of these officials!

Good video

I think you answered it when you brought up the fixing of games.

This is wild man

please make a video to tell us how sheesh will be the warriors this season....

He used to be known as Pat Riley's little brother alongside another referee whose first name starts with K. The other ref has the same hairstyle as Pat even today. Scott's been in the league long enough he won't be let go that easily. The other maybe older referee that I mentioned has been another guy whose own rep is a bit scrupulous.

People act like they refs have gotten worse, but forget that Tim Duncan once got a tech for laughing on the bench by the actual worst ref in the history of the nba: Joey Crawford. That said, Scott Foster is awful. He’s no Joey Crawford though.

One thing that makes me believe the NBA is complicit w bad ref calls is that when a questionable call is made, they replay an unrelated previos play instead of replaying the play with the questionable call. It makes zero sense to do that …

Scott Foster is the reason LeTurd has rings in the first place

I didn't know him or his name until you said it. If I were on the board, this would be a conversation at the next meeting about getting rid of these guys, or giving them penalties for interfering. This has to stop, it's ruining the game and it's been going on too long.

start a hashtag on all nba posts: #investigatescottfoster

This kinds of things makes the defference between a superstar and legends. It seem like Cp3 emotions gets into him while the likes of Kobe, Jordan, Bird and i can say Steph too will make you regret the injustice they think you just commited.

I came here to say that this is accurate. The Extender now made the playoff game - Nugget VS Timberwolves 2-2 (Game 4)

Just some clarification about the son stuff. I don’t know when this was but saw a tweet about it earlier today. CP3’s son was playing in the tunnel, Scott Foster has the said “get the fuck out of my way” (or something to that affect), then when the kid has refused to move, he’s said some other words at the kid.

Guys I went to the warriors at suns game last week and was so confused when CP got ejected

You have don't need a degree in statistics to understand confounding variables. Scott fosters is viewed by the NBA to ref important games - that means game 6's and 7's where losses are more likely for CP3.

The NBA bailed out Scott Foster before, now they use him in Key NBA games to help dictate the outcome to benefit the growth of the league You guys didn't know?

Referees penalties according to me: 😂😂😂 First offense: suspension and reprimand Second offense: suspension, penalty and re schooling Third offense: expulsion

We got the NBA dangerous Danny Davis. If you know you know.

Scott Foster is the Angel Hernandez of the NBA

This is one of your best muckraker stories. Well done! The NBA needs to take a hard look at Scott Foster, and if the facts bear out the suspicions, part ways with him!

And now The Extender has a pivotal game 4 of the MN-DEN series. The last time Foster officiated a MN game, Rudy Gobert was fined $100k for making a "money gesture" toward Foster after a questionable call.

It's a problem. NBA needs to fix it.

This is fucking insane... and with online betting, there's even more separation between refs and "gambling".. id be interested in seeing how many of these refs got a friend/fam member with big winnings.

Cp3 lost 13 straight PLAYOFF games with Scott foster officiating 🥶

Scott Foster is who the NBA uses now to fix games.. Darth Donaghious and his apprentice Darth Foster 💀

i saw what donaghy did to Iverson. it's simple, the nba need this "dirty work" guys to guide the league where they feel. not every inch, but avoinding 'bad guys', like they did to iverson

Chris Paul & Scott Foster BEEF still ALIVE 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅

I think the fact that he is called the extender is all you need to know. The guy makes the NBA more money by extending playoff series.

I didn´t know about the link to the gambling ref. If it´s true he can´t be a ref anymore and Adam Silver should act right away

Short answer: he has dirt on the NBA. The NBA's answer: keep him happy, keep him quiet.

banning foster means the NBA admitting they had a bigger probem than just tim donaghy, which aint good for their image at all

Scott Foster should have told CP3 how JINX he was 😂😂😂

Who brought the son up in this argument? the ref or CP. from the lip reading, it was CP. The ref was patient and gave warnings. Now, there may be a long standing feud here, but until I hear the ref's mic recording, it looks like CP brought this on himself.

I couldn't care less about this beef before, but now we have a pebble in the shoe with cp3 in the team, and a boulder with Foster.... we're doomed

1:04 Kawhi😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

Him and Marc Davis. It's ridiculous. Marc David had it out for the CP3 Clippers, when he officiated it was almost a guarantied loss (I had season tickets at the time, when the refs were announced it was almost always an eye roll then watch the L). Remember the Playoff game where Blake Griffin got a T for high fiving his teammate? I was there, who was the ref that night that called the T? Marc Davis. Watch and attend enough of these games and you will realize the NBA has a massive ref issue that they try their best to hide. Stern knew it, Silver knows it, they keep it all hush hush as much as possible.

Seems like the CBA should incorporate some kind of petition system in place where, with enough players and/or coaches grievances, refs can be suspended or fired.

Scott Foster, welcome to the new Joey Crawford show

Lmao the harden eye twitch bro had to slow himself down

They need to make a statement. Warriors need to have the full team get t’d up by foster in a game.

Oh hes from silver spring md LOL. Makes a lot of sense now.

Scott Foster would blow the NBA apart with all the back alley deals and fixes he knows...tell me he didn't officiate any of that Sacramento/Los Angeles series...

After a game CP3's Son was playing with another kid in the exit tunnel. They were in Scott Foster's way when he was trying to leave. He told CP3's Son to "Get the f**k out of the way" and got out and was shouting at him using more foul language. This is how CP3's Son figures into this issue. CP went to the NBA over this incident and it has been on ever since. Now you know.

He will get his

You're not going to see ESPN talking about this

Holy shit dude

Making that Silver for the comish.

Ugh, so umm it would be a smart idea to have a leauge notice on this, I mean players being able to go up to the baldy that runs this whole thing and say what they want

Ahhh shit, this bouta hit harder than my j i just sparked 🤣

Scott Foster was never charged but was implicated in the illegal gambling NBA REFS were doing. Tim Donaghe went to jail, but his best friend, who he weirdly called up to 150 times a day, Scott Foster. was swept under the rug by then NBA Commissioner David Stern. It's not like I'll call my gambling buddy to place bets or worse yet carry out bets for me. Hmmmm??? SMH

Where he live fr

all I need to know is who reffed the la vs Warriors series last year 😭

Of the 20 playoff games that CP3's teams have been favoured to win when Scott Foster is officiating... CP3's team has lost 17 times out of 20. You can't tell me that's not personal!

Scottie Barnes got tossed that game for speaking the truth

Ref should wear hot Mike to review every technical they give to a player every game.
