I can't believe somebody finally called it!

Just curious...If you would call it on a dunk, would you call it on a lay-up? We smacked glass on lay-ups in high school all the time (because we couldn't dunk).

Not if it's in the act of shooting...

No, plenty of players smack the backboard after releasing the lay-up. T?

IMO, something that's long overdue is whacking someone for flopping. I don't know about your area, but it's getting pretty bad around here. I think it would just take one and a lot of this crap would clean up. Then again, I don't have any problem tell him to get up or if the shooter goes down calling a block. Maybe someday!...

If you want it to stop call a block everytime they flop, wether the shooter goes down or not. I do and it usually stops after the first two. Especially if the shooter hits the shot.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier and simpler just to call a "flop" when they flop? Why use another rule in place of the one that applies specifically to the act? Especially when flopping is a FED POE this year? If you call the appropriate flopping "T", they'll stop it a helluva lot quicker imo.

I agree, that and when we call a block on a player who had a LGP and had he actually be fouled it would have been a PC it makes us look bad. I've seen a situation where they eneded up giving a T to the coach because the player was stationary and a block was called.
