    Dallas Mavericks Get Hit With Sexual Harassment Bug

    DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks have hired outside counsel to investigate allegations of inappropriate conduct by former team president Terdema Ussery. The allegations came in a Sports Illustrated report that described a hostile workplace for women.

    Ussery was accused of making sexually suggestive remarks to several women. He spent 18 years with the team before going to the sports apparel company Under Armour in 2015. Ussery, who was investigated by the team over similar claims in 1998, denied the allegations in a statement to SI.

    The report said team website reporter Earl Sneed was twice accused of domestic assault while working for the Mavericks, including a guilty plea in a case that was dismissed when he met the conditions of the agreement.

    The team said Sneed had been fired, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told SI that he fired human resources director Buddy Pittman after learning details of the magazine's report. Pittman and Sneed declined to comment to SI.

    The NBA said the Mavericks had informed the league of the allegations involving Ussery and Sneed.

    "This alleged conduct runs counter to the steadfast commitment of the NBA and its teams to foster safe, respectful and welcoming workplaces for all employees," the league said. "Such behavior is completely unacceptable and we will closely monitor the independent investigation into this matter."

    I can see some owners out there not knowing what is happening with their team, but Cuban has always been pretty involved. Makes you wonder how this could have gone on for 18 years without Cuban knowing.
