Coach-GM Fight! George Karl vs. Mark Cuban
NBA, Video January 15th. 2009, 2:15pmNothing like a good elbow to the kisser to start a coach fight. The delivery man: Denver’s JR Smith. The recipient: Antoine Wright of Dallas. Mark Cuban will be damned if he let’s an elbow to the chops go without David Stern noticing – he sent tape of the incident to David Stern’s office. And now, Cubes and George Karl are in a war of words.
“Stay away from my players, stay off the court, don’t get involved,” Karl said. “If you want to interact, interact with the league office and interact with your own players, but don’t mess with my players. There’s no room for it. If this was a normal fan, he would have been banned from the building and maybe not ever let back in the game. When the game starts, he is a fan. After the game, he’s an owner, but during the game he’s a fan.”
Who wants the unenviable task of tallying anyone Cuban has feuded with – in and out of the sports world – since becoming the Mavs’ owner? If you’d like to take the challenge, you should get done by the All-Star game.

Wouldn’t both parties involved have to be coaches for it to be a “coach fight”?

Karl is pretty spot on with his comments. Cuban must have missed the elbow Wright threw just before Smith threw back.

I generally like Cubes – I think he’s good for the NBA, but his whining can be insufferable. Though I wonder if this is a story if Karl doesn’t say anything? I can picture Cuban sending Stern tape on a weekly basis.
Karl comes off a little silly here.
If this was a normal fan, he would have been banned from the building and maybe not ever let back in the game.
C’mon now

The headline and video was such a cock tease. I thought I was about to see footage of Cuban yelling from the stands at Karl after that elbow.

I was expecting a fistfight between the two, Lance.

At least Antoine Wright’s Grandmother didn’t get involved.

Who is the brainiac doing the voice over? Shot controlled stroke? Smith threw an elbow at Wright’s head. What the shit is there to break down?

I got Cuban at 2/1. Karl doesn’t possess the KO punch and he’s too old to go more than a round or two.
