Report: NBA Referees feel Mavericks’ Cuban has ‘undue influence’ over league officials

The National Basketball Referees’ Association is apparently not happy with Mark Cuban.

A recently published article by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports’ The Vertical goes into lengthy detail about how the Referees’ Association feels Cuban is gaining a competitive advantage for his team by asserting an undue influence over competition and rules, as well as forcing inappropriate action in refereee employment.

From Woj’s piece:

The Vertical obtained a series of memorandums distributed recently among the league’s 64 referees – including correspondences between the NBRA and NBA – that describe over a year of discord between the referees and league office, largely centered on Cuban.
