Mavs, ESPN resolve dispute over team coverage

ESPN and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reached a resolution Friday that will allow the network's reporters to be credentialed to cover Dallas' home games.

Cuban banned the reporters from entering games with media credentials last Friday and Sunday, saying he was unhappy ESPN would not have a reporter cover the team full time. On Monday, Cuban told The Associated Press that he is concerned automated game reports could eventually replace human-generated content.

"There have been several conversations relative to the concerns Mark has raised. Mark and I both agree that content written by individuals on site is much better," ESPN president John Skipper said in a statement.
