While flopping looks to be the latest trend in the nba, it has been around for a while...more and more players are growing accustom to adding an extra oomphh into a foul...But in the end, regardless of how bad a player flops around there is a a foul that is committed....and the refs recognize what is a foul and what isn't..and do a pretty good job at it as well
Now lemme ask you this? should there be a rule implemented when a players argues who's ball it is when it goes out of bounds?.....3/4 of the time, everyone knows who's ball it is yet people want to cry and whine and try and persuade the ref to give them the ball....same thing a player does when he flops...he is trying to sell the call to the ref
Now it would be difficult for refs to make the right call in ALL the situations...as it stands know, it is pretty obvious when a player flops and ref realize this...and if refs don't give a call to them...so a player can flop around and look like a fool and get no call and then lose the edge on defense
If you want to make the game more smooth/"open the flow" this rule would cause for a foul or tech and slow the game down.No call on a flop makes the pace continue, and not slow it down

"Nowadays if a guy gets even the slightest of contact, all he has to do is hit the floor and it is an offensive foul call"

False, they still need to be planted and the offensive player must show no control of his body to get the call...

95% of the time with flops ref get the right call....it has been going on for a while now..bill lambeer was infamous for this...granted the 80's held alot of hard nose players...there was flopping going on...

Its a worthless cause...as it is now, the refs are VERY aware of who's flopping and who's not...they know who to give the calls to and who not...it wont be annoying for the first 20 games or so...it will be annoying from here on out...It wills top the game for unnecessary calls...

Another point is...the object of the game is to win...and players will try to get every advantage possible to win..and good on them...why take away for trying to win? trying to get calls...i mean as it stands now, refs are going to miss calls...why not try and make one up with a little acting? Like i mentioned before it takes a foul for someone to make a flop...so there is a reason they are flopping...refs do a good job as it is to call and not to call...

? ok do you have nothing more to say? becasue i know i have seen you on here in the last 24 hours....so i guess you just don't care..

Making a rule against flops would be a great disadvantage for the opposite team....
it would take away from a teams ability to run on a break becasue a foul would be called...
2 it would slow the game down...not speed it up...taking time to shoot a tech becasue someone "flopped"....
and
as it is now...if someone flops...there is already contact to get them to "flop"...so with contact being made there is already a foul that has occurred.

The "flop is made to encourage the ref to make the call...you don't see player falling around on the floor when NO CONTACT was made with them do you? No... they do it when there is minimal contact and they want to persuade the ref to give them the call...i.e. a foul was made, they just want to sell the foul to the ref....nothing illegal about it...and i encourage it...do what you can to get a win...
