ON THE AGENT BEAT: PACERS F FILES SUIT AGAINST FORMER AGENT

          EDWARD VINCENT KING, the attorney of Pacers F DALE
     DAVIS, filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court last
     week against Davis' former agent, STEVE KAUFFMAN, seeking
     damages "in excess of" $1M "because of alleged breaches that
     occurred during" Kauffman's eight-year association with
     Davis, according to Mark Montieth of the INDIANAPOLIS STAR. 
     Kauffman is "charged with exceeding the maximum fee allowed
     by" the NBPA and for "failing to exercise 'reasonable care'
     in his work" for Davis.  Kauffman called the suit an
     "exercise in futility" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR, 4/8).
          BLUE SKILE LAW: In N.Y., Peter Vecsey wrote that while
     it is "against" NBPA rules for an agent "to represent both a
     member of" the NBPA and a coach, agent KEITH GLASS, "who
     negotiates contracts for about 30 players, flaunts the fact
     that he also bargains for" Suns coach SCOTT SKILES.  Vecsey:
     "Evidently, if you were a strong supporter of BILLY HUNTER
     during the lockout, the union's executive director tends to
     ignore such transgressions" (N.Y. POST, 4/9).
