Unless I am forgetting something I don't think we have any real evidence that points to Cuban as a hovering, micromanager within the Mavs organization in recent years. I think we have a plethora of evidence pointing to him being immersed in OTHER projects and the Mavs organization being in a management and oversight disarray (pre-Cynthia on a total organizational level and still on basketball level after her). Please share if you know of something I am forgetting or don't know about.
I think hard evidence is hard to come by in either direction.
I think my belief that Mark has been running the show dates back to when he charted Course Plan Powder. I think of his statements that Nellie was kind of a mentor. I was probably influenced by Fish's characterization of the Triangle of Trust, and I imagined Cuban at the apex of the triangle. My view (which comes from Cuban quotes) of the business office fiasco was that Cuban ignored the business office because he was so busy with the basektball team. Lastly, I never got the idea that Cuban relinquished the role that he assumed at the headwaters of Plan Powder.
There you have it. The evidence is pretty soft either way, I think, but that's where my thoughts have come from.
.....Oh!!!....
And it always seemed to me that the reactionary changes in direction for the Mavs always mirrored Cuban's statements in interviews each season.
