Well, this is just getting ugly.

The fallout from disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy's claims that NBA refs "fixed" various playoff series has reached new lows. Former NBA official Hue Hollins is now claiming that federal agents interviewed him last year, specifically about longtime referee Dick Bavetta.

"They were very specific about their questioning, as though they had heard something," Hollins said, according to the Times. "They knew exactly what they were going after."

Hollins was asked if he noticed that Bavetta "was making sure that the home team would win" to which he told them no, based largely on the fact they didn't work together often.
