To me flopping isn't the problem so much that the refs actually give the call to the flopper. I also feel that flopping happens on both ends of the ball and not just when a defender falls over. I can't begin to call the number of times an offensive player has fallen to the ground to make it look like he was hack out of his brain...sometimes they were never touched. Dwayne Wade from the finals last year comes to mind.

The players are just taking advantage of poor officiating.

I also was not saying that the outcome of the game would have changed but when a game is called like that it doesn't help perception no matter how bad a team is playing.

As sad as it is poor officiating will always be a part of basketball but it has only gotten worse and worse and they continue to do nothing to fix it.
