Careful, college men's basketball players. You may get a technical next season if you choose to dramatize your falls and fouls.
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee announced on Friday that it is proposing that officials hand technical fouls to men's basketball players who flop, beginning with the 2021-22 season. Committee members believe that adding this component will help lessen the use of the tactic in the sport.
This proposal states that officials would not give a warning on the first occurrence of faking being fouled. Instead, they will assess a Class B technical foul to the individual each time the officials judged whether the player is embellishing.
