Quote:Actually, he shouldn't be worrying about wins, that the thing you have the least control over. Obviously you WANT to win, and it would help, but Khan is not a GM nor a coach, he did exactly what he should do - he improved the gameday experience regardless of the outcome of the game. Cuban said something similar about when he bought the Timberwolves, in fact I tihnk he said his first rule was firing anyone that talked about wins and losses.

I think he should absolutely be worried about wins.  Wins put butts in the seats which increases revenue.  Those pools and scoreboards will only go so far.  Winning is what brings the fans.  Fans buy tickets, parking, beer, hot dogs and T-shirts, etc.  All of those things increase revenue.  Do 40,000 fans spend more money than 66,000?  Every ticket that goes unsold is money lost to the team.  Just look at the difference the London game has made to the bottom line.

 

Cuban owns the Mavericks not the Timberwolves, but I know what you meant.
