Tampa, Florida - November 2, 2009
From: Executive Prison Consultants -- Consulting Agency for Timothy Donaghy

For Immediate Release:

Former NBA referee Timothy Donaghy will be released from federal prison on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 after serving just over 13 months of a 15 month sentence. In June 2009, Donaghy was transferred from a federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida to a Residential Re-entry facility in Tampa, Florida. After a misunderstanding of travel restrictions relative to the treatment of his injured knee in mid August, federal authorities transferred Donaghy to a detention center near Tampa to finish out the remaining 2 1/2 months of his sentence.

Other than the injured condition of his knee, Donaghy is in good health and is excited about seeing and re-uniting with his four daughters and family. He plans to reside in the Sarasota area where he will continue treatment for his gambling addiction, seek an appropriate surgical remedy for his injured knee, and attempt to find a job with a sales or marketing firm.

While in prison, Donaghy completed a book depicting his early years, the path that led to his professional career as an NBA referee, the lifestyle that resulted in his gambling addiction, a full disclosure of his improper actions as an NBA referee, along with the behaviors that led to his federal conviction and sentence to prison. After a recent rejection by Random House, Donaghy will look to find a company interested in publishing his book.

Mr. Donaghy will be unavailable for comment and/or direct interviews for an undetermined number of days following his release. Those wishing to speak with him directly may request such via the email address listed on this release. Executive Prison Consultants will respond to those requests when he is available to speak.
