ot: flopping - jonnyss - 03-18-2022

reading the sf chronicle article on st. mary's big NCAA victory over indiana, i was intrigued to see that st mary's was called for flopping 3 times. the first resulted in a warning, the next 2 in a single technical free throw each, of which indiana made one.

i wonder if we will start to see flopping calls in the women's NCAA tournament. we sure could have used a few against danielle adams in our final four game with texas a&m.

RTRB.  The rules are different between Men's and Women's NCAA basketball.

The men's rule book has flopping as a Player Delay violation

Quote:4� Faking being fouled (flopping) on block/charge plays or attempted tries for goal or using any other tactics such as a "head bob" which might lead an official to believe that a foul has been committed�

The women's rule book threatens that flopping may rise to having a rule against it.

Quote:Faking Fouls

The rules committee is concerned with an increase in the number of situations when players “flop” or fake being fouled to try to fool the official into believing a foul has been committed� Acts such as, but not limited to, embellishing the impact of incidental contact on block/charge plays, shooters “flopping” or flailing their arms to draw a foul, and dribblers using a “head bob” attempting to get a foul ruled on their defender do not belong in our game� As noted in the preface of the rules book, “Good sporting behavior should be a key part of [maximizing the safety and enjoyment of the student-athlete] and should be a core value in behavior of players and bench personnel...” Whether players are acting of their own volition or coaches are teaching these tactics, by making this a point of emphasis the committee is giving notice that if these situations do not decrease or are eliminated there will be further action taken by the committee�
