Hopefully it gets called for more than a week in the regular season

Ron Howard voiceover: "it didn't".

If they made it the real technical it should be maybe it would make a difference.

Make guys get tossed for it and risk suspensions over the course of a season and postseason, and actually enforce it, and maybe they'll cut the shit.

As always, stars not playing is bad for the league, which is why it will never be an ejection.

So is dogshit basketball.

Nobody has ever once flopped by accident. You wouldn't get any meaningful number of ejections out of not making the penalty a complete and utter joke. You'd make guys stop flopping because it would no longer provide a competitive advantage.

Twitter link doesn't work for me, probably because of the new changes?

A flop, which will be determined by referees at the game, will be penalized by awarding the opposing team one free throw and possession of the ball. The player who commits the flop will be assessed a unsportsmanlike technical foul, which won't count toward personal fouls or lead to an ejection.

Officials won't be required to stop live play to call a flopping violation.

Pretty good incentive not to flop IMO, wish they had more penalties to players though

If these Unsportsmanlike Technical fouls don't count towards personal fouls or ejections, what's the point of having them, then?

Wow that's pretty extreme--good in one sense, not so good in another; I'm all for it if they actually call it, but with a free throw and the ball I bet they call it extremely rarely.

I wish it was treated like delay of game, where first is a warning then a single shot for successive violations. Then refs have a free chance to give a caution.

Thank god. So sick of the flopping.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They used to have this back in 2011 complete with publicly available videos and narration explaining why X player got called for a flop or how Y player's "flop" wasn't a flop. Not sure why they got rid of it.

As with the carry and take foul changes last year; this will do nothing
