05:53 AM ET 06.17 | Don Nelson's claim of foul against Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is going to arbitration. The two sides met unsuccessfully Monday in a mediation attempting to settle the disagreement over wages that Nelson and his attorney say were owed to the former Mavericks coach from previous ownership. Nelson, who resigned with 18 games left in the 2004-05 season, claims he deferred more than $6 million in salary from the Ross Perot Jr. ownership after he assumed coaching duties late in 1997. Cuban, who declined to comment Monday, purchased the team from Perot in 2000. The Cuban-Nelson rift began during his coaching tenure and dates to when the Mavericks lost point guard Steve Nash to Phoenix in free agency after the 2003-04 season.
