NBA explores new penalties to combat flopping epidemic.
The NBA is considering in-game penalties for flopping that would result in a technical foul free throw, but this may not be the best solution as it would add to the constant play stoppages of a typical NBA game. Instead, the author suggests not calling the foul and adding potential fines and suspensions to a plan that begins with ignoring flops on the court in real time. This would require officials to adjust their wiring, but it would be worth it to stop the flopping without having to stop the game.
