Mark Cuban says poor refereeing made him consider selling Mavs
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says there's only one time that he's really considered selling his team, and it was after the 2006 season.
The Mavericks had just lost in the NBA Finals to the Miami Heat, and Cuban was plenty vocal about the refereeing during the series.
Here's what Cuban told Zach Lowe on the Lowe Post podcast:
"I remember back after 2006 when I was just going bananas and it really was the only time I was looking at selling the team, sitting down with them and showing them a list at that point and time where all our most recent refs over the past 10 years had worked at prior to coming to the NBA, and they were all from two conferences: the Southern, I think, whichever conference had Belmont. They were two really tiny conferences and it was because the college coach of the then head of officials, Ronnie Nunn, was the head of officiating in those two conferences. So we had this little back scratching arrangement which nobody even knew existed. Didn’t even know existed."
