Mark Cuban and SMU

Remember that story Calvin Watkins wrote that mentioned Mark Cuban and his financial advisor (or someone like that) were in Coach Doherty's office? I'm sure he was gearing up to build an on-campus version of the AAC. Hope this story doesn't completely derail that plan:



NBA fines Cuban $200K for antics on, off court
ESPN.com news services


The NBA fined Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $200,000 for going onto the court in Game 1 of Dallas' series against the Spurs and criticizing league officials on his blog, ESPN's Jim Gray is reporting.

Cuban was fined $100,000 for going onto the court and another $100,000 for being critical of the league regarding the selection of playoff officials, and how to improve playoff officiating on blogmaverick.com.

"The NBA knows all, does all, and far be it for me to question any of this." Cuban told Gray.

Cuban also said that he wrote the article before the playoffs and simply reposted it after Game 1.

Dallas lost 87-85 in Game 1 on Sunday, but rebounded Tuesday night with a 113-91 victory to even the series at one game apiece.

I read the blog and find it very hard to believe that he wrote that before game one. It was posted only a couple hours after the loss. He is a little too emotional sometimes and a superfan for a owner. He needs to stop whining.
