I wonder if this means more favorable refereeing, now that Holt is Stern's direct boss. :stirpot:

Edit: Stern quit and the anti-flopping rules got reversed. Holt FTW.

NEW YORK (SPI) - The NBA today announced the reversal of the "anti-flopping" rules announced earlier this month. "We have carefully re-evaluated the evidence from recent seasons and find no evidence of players taking dives to draw fouls," said new NBA Board Chairman Peter Holt. "There's no reason to put a rule into play that will both slow down the game and harm those players who possess good defensive skills."
