Disgraced ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy tells "60 Minutes" the mob threatened his family to ensure he provided his insider picks to inform betting on games.
Donaghy's first interview since his arrest in the betting scandal will air Sunday night on CBS. He says he bet on games based on his knowledge of other officials' biases for and against certain players and teams. Donaghy says he was winning 75 percent of the time, which drew the attention of the mob.
Donaghy again denies that he influenced any games he called to win a bet. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison.
