Abstract
ANAHEIM, Calif. — As a New Jersey State Trooper who went undercover to infiltrate the mob in the 1970s, Bob Delaney had no problem remaining calm, cool, and collected as he chatted up members of the Bruno and Genovese crime families while he was wearing a wire. The stress of the situation surfaced as he drove away from such interactions and had to quickly find the nearest gas station because he became sick to his stomach. He didn't know it at the time, but years later he learned the feelings he experienced were actually post‐traumatic stress disorder. His battle prompted him to launch a mental health awareness campaign, with a special focus on the military and athletes. After Delaney's undercover days, he had another successful career as a basketball official and as the NBA's Vice President of Referee Operations and Director of Officials.
