The NBA said in a court filing it spent $750 over three seasons to buy sneakers for Donaghy, who pleaded guilty last year to taking payoffs from gamblers.

Now, the league wants its money back. It also wants a court to force the referee to repay his salary, his airfare expenses and meal allowances, and cough up at least $4,500 for complimentary tickets he received over the years. All told, the league is seeking $1.4 million from Donaghy.


is there any precedent for this type of suit? you were a bad employee so we are going to sue to recoup your benefits. ::)

I'm thinking there might be.

The problem wasn't that he was a poor referee, it was that he essentially set up a competing business that utilized his employers resources for his own personal gain at the expense of his employers product, or something like that there.

In other words, I like pie!
