Stop the flopping: NBA might assess players technical fouls for the acting job -
If the new rule goes ahead, the NBA Competition Committee would try it out in the NBA Summer League in July, The Athletic reported.
“I think we should address it, because the players are so smart, and the entire regular season is about gamesmanship and trying to fool the refs. … These are all things that are my personal plea to the NBA. I think we can do better in terms of cleaning up the flopping,” Golden State Warriors coach and former NBA player Steve Kerr told the media during the Western Conference semifinals this month.
Existing NBA rules punish repeat floppers with fines after postgame reviews. The first flop assessed draws a warning, with a $5,000 fine assessed for each additional offense, going up to $30,000 for five flops.
