NBA releases guidelines for anti-flopping rule
Posted Oct 4, 2012 7:42 AM
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stop the flop.
The NBA will penalize floppers this season, fining players for repeated
violations of an act a league official said Wednesday has "no place in
our game."
Those exaggerated falls to the floor may fool the
referees and fans during the game, but officials at league headquarters
plan to take a look for themselves afterward.
Players will get a
warning the first time, then be fined $5,000 for a second violation.
The fines increase to $10,000 for a third offense, $15,000 for a fourth
and $30,000 the fifth time. Six or more could lead to a suspension.
"Flops have no place in our game -they either fool referees into
calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking the referees missed a
foul call," vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson said in
a statement. "Accordingly, both the Board of Governors and the
competition committee felt strongly that any player who the league
determines, following video review, to have committed a flop should -
after a warning - be given an automatic penalty."

Violation 2: $5,000 fine
Violation 3: $10,000 fine
Violation 4: $15,000 fine
Violation 5: $30,000 fine

Your random hate comments against your teams star players are so hysterical
Was this CP3's first flop?? I don't think so. My comment remains the same - CP3 should've been hyper-fined. Oh, and:
- My comments are not random.
- My comments are not only against my team players.
- My comments are far from "so hysterical".

Happy Birthday, Jamal Crawford!!

Chris Paul and Tyreke Evans receive flop warnings
Busted.
Both Chris Paul and Tyreke Evans have received flop warnings for plays that happened March 19 in a game between the Clippers and Kings, the league announced Thursday.
Paul's was one of the most flagrant flops we've seen this season, an attempt to draw a foul onDeMarcus Cousins. Paul threw his head back, yelled out and flailed his arms. The officials weren't fooled, and the league was not amused.
Only a warning??!
No fine?! SMH. -
Yeah, and there wasn't even a foul called..
WTF?!

Lawrence Frank questions why DeAndre Jordan's dunk over Brandon Knight was glorified
"Brandon has the right spirit about it but it's just crazy," Frank said. "I think it just speaks more about our basketball culture at times, and the things we make a big deal out of."
"At least Brandon has the courage to put himself out there to make a play," Frank said. "And the fact that people laugh about it and joke about it, I don't know. There's a whole lot more things to glamorize in our sport than something like that.
"I don't even understand how that's, like, a story, you know? And you read about how it's trending on Twitter? Talk about Miami winning 22 games in a row, or talk about something else. But a dunk? Who cares?"

I know this is not about the EPL, but I'd rather post FA cup stuff here:
Norwich City 0-1 Luton Town
85 places and 4 league levels separated the 2 clubs.Video highlights, ‘Norwich 0 Luton 1‘ (tvgolo.com).
The first FA Cup upset since 1989 which involved a Non-League side
beating a first division club occurred today. Luton Town of the 5th
division Conference National stunned Premier League club Norwich City in
Norfolk by the score of 0-1. An impressive crowd of 26,521 saw the
match at the 27,010-capacity Carrow Road ground. The Hatters, managed by
Paul Buckle, scored in the 80th minute as sub Scott Rendell made a
sliding stab at the ball crossed over from another substituted player,
JJ O’Donnell. [The previous upset of a Non-League club over a first
division club in the FA Cup took place in January 1989, when Sutton
United upset First Division club Coventry City 3-2 on a muddy pitch in
front of an overflow crowd at Gander Green Lane in Surrey {see this iillustration of Sutton United 3-2 Coventry City, 1988-89 FA Cup 3rd Round [7 Jan. 1989] from a post I made for the 2011-12 FA Cup 2nd Round}.]http://billsportsmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/norwich_0-1_Luton_2012-13_fa-cup_4th-round_scott-rendell_c.gif

There are 5 Division I teams that played to 100 percent-capacity or higher last season, and 4 of them made the 2013 tournament
(but the highest-drawing team – the Kentucky Wildcats, did not
[Kentucky are perennially the highest-drawing college basketball team in
the country (at around 23.5K or so, year- in/year-out, and at 23,721
per game and 100.9 percent-capacity last season)].
The Kansas Jayhawks always sell out their
16,300-capacity Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, and even sell a
good deal of standing-room-only tickets – last season they drew 16,445
per game for a 100.8 percent-capacity (Kansas, incidentally, have the
longest current tournament-qualification-streak – at 24 straight seasons
in the tournament [since 1990]).
The Michigan State Spartans have been playing to
sell-outs at the 14,797-capacity Breslin Center in East Lansing,
Michigan since the 1999-2000 season, and most likely also in 2012-13, so
let’s call it 14 straight seasons of playing to full capacity for the
Spartans at 14,797 per game and a 100.0 percent-capacity.
The Duke Blue Devils are rolling in the endowment
money and thus have no reason to expand the capacity of their home venue
in Durham, North Carolina because the 9,314-capacity Cameron Center
gives them a home-court-atmosphere and an advantage that is the envy of
most other college basketball programs, and so the third-most-endowed
university in the USA is quite happy with the 9,314 average attendance
figure and that 100.0 percent-capacity figure that they draw each and
every year.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs also boast a real home court
advantage in their always-sold-out 6,000-capacity McCarthey Athletic
Center in Spokane, Washington; last season, the Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s
basketball team finally started selling SRO tickets and ended up drawing
6,212 per game for a 103.5 percent-capacity.
The closest any other teams, which qualified for the 2013 tournament,
came to a 100% home capacity in their home games last season were (I am
pretty sure): the Wisconsin Badgers (at 99.7 percent-capacity); the
Wichita State Shockers (at 98.9 percent-capacity); the Louisville
Cardinals (at 97.7 percent-capacity); and the San Diego Aztecs (at 97.4
percent-capacity).
