I haven’t seen any situations so far where a player flopped and was penalized for it. Anyone know if it’s happened yet?

Any flop call should just automatically be reviewed by the NBA control center. In theory it’s a good change, but there has to be a quality control in that situation in case the refs miss a foul.

I think this is a great solution. Don't stop the play, rather, signal the replay center to review the flop. When it's determined it's a flop, then call the tech at the next stoppage and allow for the free throws.

This would solve the issue of punishing the innocent and this weird inconsistent "sometimes we stop the play and sometimes we don't" kind of nonsense.
