Cuban backs NBA move on officials

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban praised the NBA for restructuring its officiating hierarchy.

Veteran official Ronnie Dunn will become director of officials, while Paul Brazeau takes on the title of director of officiating performance analysis, the league announced Tuesday.

Former director of officiating Ed Rush will become director of officiating programs.

"I think the NBA is right on target," Cuban said. "We have a great staff of refs, and the division of responsibility will allow each of them to get more support. I think Ronnie Nunn is the perfect choice to eliminate the politics and enable the staff to operate at its best."

Cuban was fined $500,000 last season for criticism of the officials. He maintained that lax officiating standards have left star players vulnerable.
