SocraticGadfly: Call it the Ginobili rule

May 29, 2008

Call it the Ginobili rule

Or the Anderson Varajao rule. Anyway, the NBA says it will fine floppers next year. Postgame tape will be analyzed to nail offenders.

It sounds like the fines could get progressive. Still no word on whether suspensions will be involved.

And, I can’t resist asking, rhetorically: Will the rule work, or will it …

Be a flop?

The NBA’s competition committee also recommended instant replay to determine 3-pointers and 3-pointer fouls, as well as get late-game clock time exactly right.
