This is a bunch of crap. I do not believe for one second the officials even give a damn. The NBA hires them, not Mark Cuban. If they screw up according to what the NBA Supervisor says, then they might get in trouble with the league (fine, suspended, fired). Then they will not get any playoff games or get kicked out the league. I am sure Cuban is not much different than other owners, he is just more public. I am also sure there has been some conversation with the NBA officials about this issue in their meetings. So you all know during the season these officials meet every single day online and go over plays that were missed or were correct. I am sure the league is "putting them on edge" much more than anything Cuban is going to say. Just a guess on my part.

Peace
