An acquaintance who used to work the business side of the Mavs once told me that Mark Cuban was so intent on micromanaging each department's actions, they came up with a defense plan. Any time the boss asked about the day's events, they'd have a story. Only it might not reflect the actual scope of their actions.
My favorite: We bought a Coke machine today.
Now, in light of Cuban's reaction to Sports Illustrated's portrait of the Mavs' "culture" of sexual harassment, I suppose we could take his professed shock at the details a couple of ways.
