Won't happen ; refs have a hard time seeing the truth
Technical fouls I believe. If they're comparing these "penalties" to the likes of soccer (yellow and red cards), then I'd imagine they'd penalize the players with Ts. Maybe personal fouls though, who really knows

I can't see how they can possibly enforce this. Flopping, flailing etc is a matter of perception, the uneven application of this would send the league into reactionary mode once the criticisms come out. The refs miss enough calls without having one more thing to watch out for.
Eh, they'll penalize it 2-3 weeks, the Player's Association will file a lawsuit, and the league will back off. Not much to see here.
What is up with the anti-Manu-ism on this board? It's baffling enough that some Spurs "fans" are like that, but really ... what does Mav/King/Knick/whoever fan have against him?
I guarantee that if Manu were on YOUR team, you would absolutely love him.
Is it jealousy talking? I mean, 2 NBA championship rings, an Olympic gold medal ...
I guess fans of the Mavericks, Kings, Celtics, Knicks (in recent years), wouldn't recognize a champion if they saw one.
Can you even read? I don't see many Spurs fans around here that hate Manu.
Well, there are a few Spurs "fans" out there that hate Manu. Like my brother-in-law, until he became a Suns fan. (I may need a ruling on this too).Can you even read? I don't see many Spurs fans around here that hate Manu.
My point, though, was that the fans of other teams hating on Manu must have more to do with their jealousy than with anything he actually does.
When Mavs or Suns Fan bring home the Trophy, then they can hate on Manu. Until then, all they can do is watch us and be jealous.
People forgets that
You SPURS fans do the same with Kobe.
KOBE OWNS THE spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nwo shaq.
Sorry Hobe gets pwned by Bruce.
Ummm ... I never mentioned Laker fans as folks who can't recognize a champion.
The Lakers (well, at least Kobe) won three les not too long ago. So their fans can certainly know a champion when they see one. That is, if they're not in the county tank after another riot, setting things on fire and looting because their team won and all.
I'm sure even the Lakers, who are having a good season and playing well, would love Manu on their team. That guy plays his heart out every night, and adds to that hustle considerable skill. As for some of their fans, well, following a great team isn't the same thing as having a little class, particuarly on the board of a team that ENDED their dynasty and sent Fisher and Kobe home crying.
I think most refs can tell the difference between a flop and actual contact, but they continue to give out oscars for the best performers. The league needs to just tell the refs to stop giving the players these calls instead of threatening players with technicals.
The league is kind of contradicting itself. They want a faster paced game, so they give slashers more leeway, and now they want to stop flopping, which takes away the advantadge of -most- slashers. Which way are they going here?
But yes, as Kori said, they said the same thing last year too, and nothing changed.
