"NBA Considers Issuing Technical Fouls for Flopping Violations"
The NBA is set to vote on a proposal that would issue technical fouls for flopping violations, aiming to discourage the act and penalize offenders in-game. If approved, opponents would be awarded a technical free throw when a player is deemed to have flopped. The league has been combating flopping since 2012 with fines, but this new rule would provide immediate consequences. The proposal also includes the possibility of a second coach's challenge if the first is successful. While the implementation may pose challenges for officials, the NBA is making an effort to address the issue.
