It’s because they know their refs as a whole aren’t cookie cutter trained in the off season like most other sports organizations and it’s more likely to put eyeballs on terrible balls in the NCAAT if they’re trying to enforce a rule that’s gonna be so subjective.Lol #1: This rule comes the year K retires
Lol #2: the rule goes out of effect for the NCAA tourney. Does any other sport change such a big rule for its biggest time of the season?
I thought the same thing. lolThey waited for K to retire before doing this ... of course.
My first thought too!They waited for K to retire before doing this ... of course.
I’d be down to make it 6 but they would have to extend the game at least a little bit. I don’t want a hack-a-thon.In my opinion the number one rule that needs changed is the 5 foul rule. It’s ridiculous. It can completely change a game.
A higher foul limit won't do much - if a ref wants to get a team in trouble, they'll do it. And would coaches change their 2 fouls and bench in first half rule? Make it 3 and bench? Again, refs will just find that third one however they like. Just like this flop rule - "judgment call" = whatever the ref wants or has money on that day.I’d be down to make it 6 but they would have to extend the game at least a little bit. I don’t want a hack-a-thon.
I agree with you that foul trouble can totally change a game. IMO they should be able to have 6 fouls and then after the 6th foul a coach can continue to play the offending player if he chooses but if the player picks up any additional fouls it would be like a technical with opposing team getting 2 shots and the ball. This would allow the player to continue to play but with additional penalty which would discourage guys from going out and committing 15 fouls. Of course the coach could also choose to sit a guy to avoid the 2 shots and ball penalty.In my opinion the number one rule that needs changed is the 5 foul rule. It’s ridiculous. It can completely change a game.
Would take a lot of power away from the refs.In my opinion the number one rule that needs changed is the 5 foul rule. It’s ridiculous. It can completely change a game.

It’s too harsh. They are going to be calling it on clear charges where they player actually does get sent flying. Given how bad they are at the block/charge call in general, this is only going to make things worse.Still not harsh enough in my opinion. If you fake getting fouled and it’s obvious it should be deemed unsportsmanlike and ejected. This is a pansy ass enforcement which won’t change a thing.
What other sport does this? And the way they call touch fouls is a joke.Why? It's 1 foul for every 8 minutes of game, just like the NBA. Seems a reasonable enough number.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. So now all year we will hope to see that happen and during March madness when a huge flop happens it won’t be anything. Lmfao.Lol #1: This rule comes the year K retires

I don’t know, could be two fouls at once, one for the defensive foul, then the Tech. After getting the FT and the ball plus two fouls that’s a good swing.Still not harsh enough in my opinion. If you fake getting fouled and it’s obvious it should be deemed unsportsmanlike and ejected. This is a pansy ass enforcement which won’t change a thing.
Good in theory but I can see the corrupt refs using that strategy to really get teams back in a game. Could you imagine some late game swings in some touch fouls where they get 2 and the ball every time the player is in? Depending on the player they may never want to take them out.I agree with you that foul trouble can totally change a game.

As for the flopping rule it won't matter they either won't call it or will be so inconsistent with the call, like they are with a block/charge that it will just be a disaster. The issue is the refs as much as it is the rules.
they didn’t even take it that far. It is just a one shot technical, no additional foul or change of possession.I don’t know, could be two fouls at once, one for the defensive foul, then the Tech. After getting the FT and the ball plus two fouls that’s a good swing.
I think where my ejection rule would apply is something like the Chris Jones acting on taking an elbow to the chops. Flopping on charges is a tough call. Some players legitimately take a charge but to just avoid possible injury and standing their ground and getting plowed over will start falling back right at contact. I have no issue with that as that is merely protecting yourself. Now taking a slight bump and hurling yourself 8 feet into the air is quite another thing.It’s too harsh. They are going to be calling it on clear charges where they player actually does get sent flying. Given how bad they are at the block/charge call in general, this is only going to make things worse.
That sucks, it would have been really good to add the additional foul on it.Still not harsh enough in my opinion. If you fake getting fouled and it’s obvious it should be deemed unsportsmanlike and ejected. This is a pansy ass enforcement which won’t change a thing.

I’ve said that for awhile. Make every foul after the 5th one shot and the ball. Then the coach can decide how bad he wants that guy to play.In my opinion the number one rule that needs changed is the 5 foul rule. It’s ridiculous. It can completely change a game.
What about when the player gets up rubbing his jaw. Then the replay shows there was no contact at all. That gets me red assed.I hope flopping includes throwing your head back like you just got rear ended even if not hit the floor.
and that is the risk a coach would run by leaving a guy with 6 fouls in the game. 🤷♀️Good in theory but I can see the corrupt refs using that strategy to really get teams back in a game. Could you imagine some late game swings in some touch fouls where they get 2 and the ball every time the player is in? Depending on the player they may never want to take them out.
Those damn Russians. Interfering in everything.Reds will call this inconsistent for a long time and then only call the bad ones by the time the tourney rolls around.
