The New Flopping rule

This rule will be applied very unevenly according to the whims of the Refs.Some refs will be stringent in the application of the rule and others will be more permissive. That's s fact of life.I believe it will slow the game down. GO HUSKIES!!!!
Any contact will disqualify a flop from being called.

Not so, sometimes it's the over reaction to minor contact both offensively and defensively

I've said many times before, IMHO when an offensive player lowers their shoulder to attack in the paint and there's contact that's a foul!

Refs have been falling for flopping for years. Are they suddenly going to notice when it's happening in real time? Or will there have to be a review after nearly every play, to see if someone might've flopped? I consider the chances of this working out well somewhere between slim and none. And yeah, as noted above, this will most likely get applied/enforced very inconsistently.
Yeah no, you can lower your shoulder and attack the paint but a defensive player has a right to his or her position, you as a offensive player can't displace tht player by initiating contact, it's called an Offensive foul, you can't just bowl people over, pushing a defensive player off or hooking with you off arm/ hand is an Offensive foul, if the defensive player has position and literally falls with minimum contact or before contact is made thn it's a flop, for better understanding of this watch any ND game.

I could see some sort of consistency developing within conferences. But not throughout conferences. The SEC refs are mostly “ let ‘em play.” ACC refs are more tickey tacky. How will this work in?. What can you expect in out of conference games? Playoffs. Will they call it on the bigs and let it go with guards? Or the other way around!
Expect no consistency the first year.

Actually, IMO, it will speed up games since these flippin floppers always end up going to the charity stripe.

I am sure the new rule is going to impact offense and defense at some level. The key is going to be how much. Confident & aggressive players like Nika are going to keep attacking. Players, if they haven't already, are scrimmaging and programs bring in refs to see what is a call or what isn't a call. Then come the actual game, as we all know, every ref is going to see the same and either call it or ignore it. So, I think there will be some level of impact.

Too much,in all sports, of trying to have perfect violation control. Deciding if a player has flopped? Really? What a crock! It's never going to be perfect , these reviews slow down the games, and,as a fan, I've gotten tired of these disruptions to the flow of games. Get rid of all reviews, accept the imperfections of refs,umps,etc, and let the games go on. Boy am I old, but it really has gotten out of control. Go back to the time when you could blame the officials for your team's loss.

It's a rule change that need to be made. Some teams, LSU and UCONN have it down to a science. I'll never forget the classic flop on the Henny pull-up against UCONN....never within 3 feet of Muhl and she was flat on her back as the ball went through the net on the pull-up jumper. Not picking on her. I just think it is a trademark for many teams while others never do it.

And Slim was in Texas, the last I heard.

Tbh everytime a player does a crossover they are carrying or palming the ball.
I'm afraid it will be called like pass interference in football where nobody will know if it is or isn't a flop. As long as they don't go to a monitor to check it I'm OK with it. Nothing worse than being at a game and waiting for 3 game officials to review a play. And of course at the game they don't let you see the video they're reviewing. We might riot or something.

This could also hurt UConn. I think AE often loves to add a dramatic fall to a foul. I'd rather see a rule that just requires no foul to be called on the play on either team. A flopper is on the floor and no longer a use to her teammates until she gets back up. I agree with others here that this new rule will quickly be regretted as games get constantly delayed and players start to foul out on questionable fouls.

NCAA basketball refs should take a page from the World Cup refs. In case you haven’t noticed, some of the futbol refs have reduced the number fouls they are calling, significantly. Obvious flops, minor pushes and feet entanglements are ignored or signaled as “play on” situations, unless the ref considers the foul was a dangerous play. When they don’t hear the ref’s whistle, It’s amazing how quickly the supposedly injured player, rolling around on the ground and grabbing a leg, stands up and runs back to the action. If you watched the women’s’ semi finals and final, the American referee did an outstanding job limiting play stoppages.

Part of the problem is with officials too. It seems like if there is contact but the defender doesn't go to the ground no foul is called. In my opinion it has to be a foul on the person who flopped or the offensive player. No need for a technical, just a common foul called and you either shoot or get it out of bounds. Incidentally the play that took out Azzi last year was a flop on AE and that was an expensive one for UConn.

Was at an exhibition game last night - and one of the Arizona players flopped. No foul called, no warning issued, just play on.
On the other hand, Arizona got a couple warnings for not coming out of time outs fast enough, including one "official" warning. Again, though, they didn't call an actual foul. I did see the head ref, Bob Schofield (who is a Tucson native) chatting with Adia at a couple points. As I've always suspected, exhibitions are (ultimately) practice games and, in general, rule enforcement can vary.

Yeah I am but I'm also a fan of the original crossover king Allen Iverson, no one did it better, check him out on YouTube.
I watched the Celtics Knicks game and there were 2 flopping calls, the refs went to the monitor, I remember thkn tht this is definitely gonna interrupt the flow of the game, they waited for a break in the action before having a player shoot the penalty foul shot which I thk is weird.
I like ur thkn there
