Don't have time to look for Cuban's quotes, but my opinion on the matter is that it removes officiating from NBA politics and gives it to a company/entity tasked with one responsibility: to produce competent and impartial officiating. The NBA can register their overall approval or disapproval with the officiating product in their relationship with the contractor, and even change officiating company if things aren't working out, but it removes the confusing team owner / league front office / officiating relationship triangle.
Thanks!

Surely some smart minds could come together and come up with something that works better than some guy like me spitballing on the internet.
To this end, is there a league that already does something like this? Even if it's another sport, or not in the USA. To study as a model.
