Stern Calls Flopping ‘Trickery, Deceit’
(David) Stern also confirmed that the competition committee will discuss the issue of flopping at its next meeting June 18, and called it “tricks that are designed to fool the ref.”
“Flopping almost doesn’t do it justice,” Stern said. “Trickery, deceit, designs to cause the game to be decided other than on its merits. We’ll be looking at that.”
As for the overall state of the league’s officiating, Stern said, “The state of the referees is spectacular for human beings. What’s the next question?”
