Dear freinds,i'm not joking!
FIBA:"unsportmanlike foul is a personal foul committed by a player which in the the judgement of the official,is not a legitimate attempt to directly play the ball"....
flopping it isn't FOUL!!
..."Technical foul by a player are player foul which do not involve contact with an opposing player"...
it's a technical foul when a player disregards warning by official or uses unsportmanlike tactics.
you can see it NICK at FIBA interpretation of the official basketball rules 2000,there is the situation :"A4 attempts a shot for a field goal whilst B4 tries to distract him by shouting at him or stamping heavily on the floor"
a-the shot is successful
b-the shot is not successful.
interpreation:
a-the basket is awarded and B4 receives a warning
b-a technical foul is charged against B4.
The interpretation say that you can call technical foul to a player after personal unsportmanlike behaviour.
I TOLD YOU BEFORE I'M NOT JOKING!!!
