Flopping was supposed to be punished after the fact with a fine, but it was rarely enforced. If they can't enforce it with the benefit of hindsight, how are they going to enforce it in real-time?

Honestly I like enforcing it after the fact. If it's in real time, feels like it's just another tool for refs to use to take over the game.

Getting a second coaches challenge after winning the first seems like a no brainer. I would love for flops to be taken out of the game so I'll be cautiously optimistic about that change.

I like the flopping rule, but I think it will be difficult to enforce in-game. I’d rather see someone look at footage post-game and suspend players. It will be a lot easier to enforce with time to review tape. This is just going to be one of those penalties that is never called.

I'm a fan of the second challenge. It feels silly that coaches feel the need to "save their challenge for later in the game" so they avoid challenging an obvious error in the first half

The flopping rule is basically irrelevant. There are tons of rules that aren't ever enforced; as far as I'm concerned those are empty words until it gets consistently called.

The coach's challenge change however is HUGE. Whether it's gonna be good or bad, I can't say. Challenges get denied all the time, so I doubt this will actually make the coaches more prone to calling it, but it might make it so that we see early obvious challenges more often since coaches often don't challenge obvious calls early in the game because they prefer to keep the challenge for the 4th quarter.

I'm all for calling flops, but that sounds like a difficult thing to watch out for. I'm looking forward to seeing how do they define a flop and how many of them are called once the season starts.

I approve of both of these, especially the flopping rule. Would make the game so much more enjoyable

I wonder if you'll get ejected if you flop twice in a game. That's right Smart and Embiid, I'm looking at you two.

Regarding the 2nd change, does that mean the coach can only have 2 challenges at most? or can the coach challenge as much as he can as long as it's always successful?

They can't even call traveling right, so I don't have high hopes this will be called correctly often

I’m a fan of this

Yes, both great changes

Big fan of these changes. It’ll be interesting to see if / how the flop rule will be enforced.

Love this rule, should be called a foul on that player as well.
