Former NBA Ref Donaghy Back in Prison TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy is back behind bars.

Donaghy was being held without bond Tuesday for a federal rule violation, according to Hillsborough County jail records.

A message left Tuesday at the office of Donaghy's attorney was not immediately returned.

Donaghy was given a 15-month sentence last year after he said he took money from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games — including games he worked. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in wire fraud and transmitting betting information through interstate commerce.

Donaghy was moved to a halfway house this year after serving part his sentence in a federal prison camp. He was scheduled for release in October.
