I think Cuban raises some legitimate points, but many come out of a lack of understanding of the job of an official. Cuban argues that if the game were called completely by the book that there'd be less controversy. Of course, as judging by his use of "over the back" he and the majority of the fans don't know the rules which is why they have to contextualize calls that they don't quite understand. Also, Cuban's illustrations about giving a team that was fouled the ball OOB rather than calling the foul are oversimplified.
