The owner of the Dallas Mavericks hired a former FBI agent to investigate referees following the 2006 NBA finals in which the Miami Heat beat the Mavericks.
The Oregonian reports that owner Mark Cuban was so suspicious and angry after the finals that he hired retired FBI agent Warren Flagg, who spent more than 20 years at the bureau, to investigate.
Flagg said Cuban was considering pressing charges against the league.
“Cuban asked me what he should do. I told him, ‘Sue and you’ll win your case,’ but he knew he’d be killing the Golden Goose,” Flagg said.
