Former mob buster and NBA referee Bob Delaney is joining the University of South Florida's Office of Corporate Training and Professional Education to lead seminars about operational stress, or what Delaney avoids referring to as post-traumatic stress disorder, the university says in a news release.

Delaney learned about such stress the hard way, fighting the mob in the Northeast, and it was that story, told at the Moffitt Cancer Center and the University of South Florida's Sarasota-Manatee campus, that got him noticed by USF officials.

It's a New Jersey story that precedes "The Sopranos" premiere in 1999. It was in the 1970s, when a young cop was recruited by the New Jersey State Police to pose as a thuggish trucking official.
