I endorse all floppers being embarrassed like that

Even as a Suns fan, it was pretty fun to watch. Hopefully Markieff gets some revenge down the road.

Yeah you can't throw the ball at or give the ball to another player from the other team. That's an easy tech.

Kieff may have embellished the contact, but that's what you do in the post when a guy lowers his shoulder. It's a savvy move that predates all this no contact flop crap.

I don't know about "savvy," this is the OG of flop moves, the kind of flop you'd see in HS ball all the time back in the day.

However this does highlight the most effective way to referee flops: swallow your whistle and force the flopper to live with his gamble. Knowing that your man is likely to score if you don't get the whistle is a far more effective deterrent than fining you pocket change weeks after the fact.

Flopping shouldn't be a gamblers move you get away with sometimes, and sometimes not. Sure you get away with it sometimes, but if you're punished when you do it, you won't do it nearly as often and the nba will be less of a sham mockery then it is now. Should get a tech and let the basket in in this case.

From all the books I've read related to positive vs negative reinforcement I think you are wrong...
Negative reinforcement doesn't work nearly as well as rewarding people for the good things they do.

Still not sure this play was a flop tho, Nurkic does lower his shoulder a bit yeah, either way, its a good and fun clip

I don't get most of your interpretations.

Wasn´t the main reason why Nurkic touched the ball afterwards, because he wanted to "save" Morris from getting the ball in the face? To me it looked like just a reaction without deeper thoughts.
