Report: NBA Working On New Rule To Prevent Flopping
(WSCR) If you've ever screamed relentlessly at your TV because an opposing player "flopped" to make it look like he was fouled, you might be in luck.
According to a report, the NBA is finalizing a new procedure to punish flopping, with an off-court remedy expected to be in place before the start of the regular season.
"The procedures will likely involve a postgame review as opposed to calling it as an in-game infraction," an NBA spokesman said in a statement to CBSSports.com.
According to NBA rules, the new rule does not need to be approved by the Board of Governors because it does not involve a rule change for on-court play.
