Tuesday, April 1 Cuban gets into shoving match with phony official -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Press DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban pulled an April Fools' gag during a timeout in the second quarter of Tuesday night's game against the New Orleans Hornets, getting into a shoving match with a phony game official. Cuban, heavily fined last season for his complaints about officiating, went onto the court during the stoppage in play and began arguing with a man dressed as a game official. Cuban began shoving the man and was restrained by one of the team's equipment managers before it became apparent that the incident had been staged. The real officials chuckled at Cuban's antics. http://espn.go.com/nba/news/2003/0401/1532575.html
Did Del Harris really not know what was going on? If so, his reaction is too funny, he looked like he was going to have a heart attack.
You know I would like Cuban if he showed any respect for other players and teams. I understand being a homer and be biased, and I would expect nothing less from an owner--but you can still be respectful of others. Still funny stunt, and Cuban is the kind of open wallet, ethusiastic-but letting his brass in the know make the big decisions-- owner you want for your team.
