The NBA’s Board of Governors came to a unanimous decision to instate two rule changes that will be in place effective this upcoming season — a second coach’s challenge if the first one is successful, and an in-game penalty for flopping — during its annual meeting during summer league.
The flopping rule — which is on a one-year trial period — was put in place to dissuade players from falling from minimal contact in order to draw a foul — something that has become a point of contention in the leagueIf caught in the act, the offending player’s team will receive a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul and the opposition will shoot a free throw.
Fines for flopping will also stay in place, costing the offending player $2,000 to start and increasing for each offense.
