The1950–51 Indianapolis Olympians season was the Olympians' 2nd season in theNBA.^[1] One lesser known aspect regarding this season involves how an NBA referee named Sol Levy would successfully rig a game involving the Olympians on November 12, 1950, to have them lose their match to theBoston Celtics instead, which later led to him being caught in the act and arrested as an eventual accomplice in theCCNY point-shaving scandal of 1951.^[2]^[3]
