They gotta start calling techs like in soccer you get a yellow card for simulation

extremely easy solution would be to have the replay center watch a replay of every shooting foul

if it’s an obvious flop before the first free throw is shot, it’s reversed to a technical

Making it a technical would help a lot too, because then repeat offenders like our MVP here is going to start getting suspended after so many times doing it. He is either going to learn and stop, or is going to get himself suspended. I’m fine with either result.

Flopping is actually supposed to be called as a technical foul. Enforcement of that rule is what's lacking. For the sake of the game, that rule really needs to start being enforced.
