    Penalties For Flopping.....ABOUT DARN TIME!!


    Crack Down on Flopping

    A lot of those stars that some people on the board are always touting as the greats might see a decrease in their game. This would definitely make me happy. Now, if they get these techs in order, the NBA might rise again. Haven't read, but I will. Discuss.......

      Blah blah blah. More referee discretion just like the techs for talking back?

      It's the NBA's fault in the first place and hypocritical, especially with star treatment in the league.

      They totally disseminate defense and now want to try to get anylitical about flopping?

      It's bad enough you can't even breathe on certain players.

        Reggie Miller was a huge flopper.

        Bogut takes charges well.

              Finally! They should start calling flopping, its just an unfair tactic.

                Honestly, I can't see how they can crack down on it though. I was watching Dirk play the Bulls tonight and probably 75% of what he got a foul for was flopping in my opinion. It's definitely hard to distinguish. Freaking refs just need to call it even all around instead of trying to complicate the stupidness. European players helped to bring that into the league even more.

                    Not to sound ignorant to basketball, but what exactly is flopping?

                      Just get you a tape of a Spurs game and watch Manu play defense and you will know. When your done pop in a old tape of Vlade Divac and there you have it!

                        Dre, you know I usually agree with you on most everything, but I think this is one area where the refs HAVE to take control.

                          Its way to hard and it wont work Matrix. The refs have way too much to worry about and look at to try and see if a player is flopping or not. Maybe everyonce in a while they will catch Manu doing it, but its not going to be some call you see game by game, if ever.

                          Havent they said they were going do this before? What happened then and how are they going to make it different now?

                            This is just a scape goat penalty. If you are an NBA ref you should be able to know the difference between flopping and a legitimate charge. That's why they're refs! To know the difference. Guys in all sports have little scrappy tricks they try to get past the refs, but that's not their fault if the refs are too blind to pick it up.

                              Whatever it is, they gotta crack down on it man. Hell, have someone in the booth watching the game on TV or something, ANYTHING! The reffing of the sport is really what makes basketball so low on my personal totem pole. Flopping is a HUGE part of it. If you're not going to do away with charging/blocking fouls completely (like I've suggested MANY times before), then you have to do something drastic.
