in case anyone wants to read what Cuban said...
http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000970073680/

some of his comments are pointless and his idea of having only 12 officials working the 4 second rounds series is utterly ludicrous but he doesn't really say anything inflammatory, IMO.

Has anyone seen any video of Cuban being a jack@$$ after Game 1???

Cuban should have been blaming Jerry Stackhouse for that ill-advised shot instead of the officials. JMO

For those in the know, Cuban just shows his ignorance with the comment, "In fact, if the info I have is correct, there are officials who haven't even been promoted to full-time crew chief who get playoff assignments. How crazy is that?"

How many full-time crew chiefs does Cuban think the league needs??? You only have 60 officials to begin with who are then broken up into four groups of 15. With those numbers, realistically you'll only have a limited number of full-time crew chiefs and you can't limit the playoff games to just them.

He also says he'd rather have them working back-to-back days flying from city to city than having someone with a slightly lower rating officiate on the next day. If that were to happen, then he'd put up a protest the second a call doesn't go his way by saying that the officials are jet-lagged and fresh officials should be working.
