NBA Agent Keith Glass Stands Up to Poaching

Filed under: Kings, Sports Business and Media

Keith Glass was lucky.

That's the first thing he wants to make clear.

Quincy Douby, 2007

Sure, his rare victory in this case of agent-on-agent crime was the product of a number of factors, from the tireless work of his lawyer to the testimony of his son to the advantages that came with his own reputation being far more spotless than that of the accused, Andy Miller.

But if the client in question, former Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors guard Quincy Douby, hadn't faxed Glass' termination letter just blocks away from where Miller's office was located back on April 26, 2007, the decision that might spark change in the way the player-agent relationship is handled in the NBA might never have happened.

Douby, who Glass would later assert was coerced to change agents by Miller and his high school coach, Jack Ringel, had spoken with Glass not long before firing him. And even if he didn't know it yet, Glass' three-year process of firing back had officially begun.
