Twitter link doesn't work for me, probably because of the new changes?

A flop, which will be determined by referees at the game, will be penalized by awarding the opposing team one free throw and possession of the ball. The player who commits the flop will be assessed a unsportsmanlike technical foul, which won't count toward personal fouls or lead to an ejection.

Officials won't be required to stop live play to call a flopping violation.

Pretty good incentive not to flop IMO, wish they had more penalties to players though

Wow that's pretty extreme--good in one sense, not so good in another; I'm all for it if they actually call it, but with a free throw and the ball I bet they call it extremely rarely.

I wish it was treated like delay of game, where first is a warning then a single shot for successive violations. Then refs have a free chance to give a caution.
