Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban hoping for changes in NBA officiating

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban took to Twitter again on April 29 to discuss the NBA officiating in hopes of creating positive change.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is a man who knows how to create success. He is a billionaire that bought the Mavs in 2000 at age 42. In his 19 seasons at the helm, the Mavericks have made the playoffs 15 times including winning the NBA title in 2011.

Cuban is approaching two decades as an owner, so he has plenty invested in the NBA. He was quick to share his thoughts on the Warriors vs. Rockets controversy on Sunday afternoon. Fans can read more about that here.

Calling for change

Cuban went back on Twitter on Monday to call for change. It is a bold move that could get him fined by the NBA, but he wants things to improve. Cuban is spot on with his points too. Here is the first in a series of Tweets that the Mavericks owners sent out.

If you want to know if NBA officiating will get any better, look at the @nbagleague officiating. 100% of our new officials come through there. We don’t invest 1/10 of what we should to train and develop our GLeague refs . https://t.co/0QT1SoP3iN

It will be interesting to see if Cuban can make anything happen here. Improving the officiating is a positive for everyone in the game. Better officials mean less controversy which puts the focus where it should be on the players. Fans should be talking about Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, and Chris Paul in the Warriors vs. Rockets series and not the officiating crew.

Thank you, Mark Cuban. Hopefully, your Twitter discussion makes an impact going forward.

Final thoughts

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban shared his thoughts on how the officiating needs to improve in the NBA. Reading his whole series of Tweet is a must for fans. Here is a link to his Twitter account.
