Always A First Time, But Not Tonight In My Game ...
Quote:
The four of us discussed this play after the game. With our many combined years of playing basketball, watching basketball, and officiating basketball, we all agreed that none of us wanted to be the first official in Connecticut to make a "flop" call.

The L (I assume it was the L that was the primary for this play.) was correct in not accessing a TF for "faking being fouled". For our brothers and sisters who are not familiar with my position, reacting to possible conact is: 1) human nature and 2) not "faking being fouled". If one wants to see athletes who are adept at faking being fouled, watch soccer players, especially professional soccer players. MTD, Sr.

All the posts in this thread do indicate the high frequency of occurrence, the apparent injury risk, and the fundamentally unsporting-ness of the "flop". It is for these reasons that i predict that the " get up" mechanical coupled with it's documented bench warning will trickle down to implementation at the NF level.
@ MTD: !o! @ soccer players exceptional display of "flops". |
