The NBA has had a perception problem when it comes to the fairness and integrity of its referees for decades. Conspiracy theories of match-fixing, big-market favoritism, special star treatment only gained momentum when disgraced former referee Tim Donaghy manipulated point spreads at the behest of a gambling ring.None of that has stopped the league from naming a convicted tax evader as the new head of its officials.ESPN.com has the details.
