Exaggerating fouls in basketball (flopping)

[93Devil]

I'm curious about the opinion of the board on this.

Thanks ahead of time for voting or chiming in.

Send them to college, where they will learn to play the right way

If the refs would simply swallow their whistles, flopping would go away.

Considering the worst offenders are a college team, I will chalk that up to lack of knowledge.

Actually, you need one more option devil:

It's been happening since Naismith hung up the first peach basket. Nothing can be done about it now.









(Doc Naismith used to accuse me of flopping al the time ... it was not true)

But this often?

No, there should not be a penalty for flopping. There is no advantage gained by falling down. If it's a flop, simply don't call the foul.

 

[RossLT]

Vlade Divac doesn't see what the fuss is all about.

Seriously though, if you think a dude is exaggerating, don't call it.

NBA already cracked down on flopping this season.

I think if you earn a reputation for being a hard ass, you'll get people to watch themselves a bit.

 

[jps]

they flop, call em. it's stupid, and they oughta knock that **** off.

Dwyane Wade disagrees, as does Tony Parker, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, etc.

Coming from you that is hilarious. I forgot, you were a high school superstar. You have all the answers.

Then why post such an insightful comment on this thread?

The trouble is that it might be too severe call, so refs don't call the T.

I actually thought this poll would be more 50/50.
