Wow, that's awful. He needs to transfer to UNI so he can learn the proper flopping technique.

[RoyalShock]

Apparently Dana Altman left Mastering the Flop, as instructed by Ben Jacobsen, early at a summer coaches clinic.

[ShockTalk]

Saw this earlier. This kind of crap needs to be controlled. It's worse than in soccer (yes, I said it).

I don't know how it can be controlled, but it makes the sport look bad.

[ShockdaWorld]

Seems fairly easy to control really. T them up for obvious flops. I know I'm probably oversimplifying it. Somebody should ask @ShockRef: if there are any kind of rules in place about this.

[Cdizzle]

Janssen would have bought it.

[ShockRef]

Yes

Indeed there are rules in place for unsportsmanlike acts including attempts to deceive an official.
They are called Class A Technical Foul. It results in 2 free throws to the other team and the ball placed back in play at the Point of Interruption.

We can also simply call a Blocking Foul, which is the more common way of handling the issue (and a quick conversation with the coach advising him what comes next).

That is all.

I believe a blocking foul was called on this play so I guess they handled it.

Thanks. That makes sense.

The NCAA should issue a statement that all players have already been warned, thus just calling a blocking foul isn't enough. Add the technical on the first offense. That's the only way to get rid of it.

Does a Class A technical also count as a personal foul?

Royal,
Yes and a Team Foul too. Class B Technical Fouls do not.
Typical Class B Technical Fouls include hanging on the rim, administrative, etc. Class B Technical Fouls are always one shot and P.O.I.

That is all.

They have been warned. They were given a rule book.

I get so tired of this stuff.

[RoyalShock]

They were given a rule book.

Who reads those things?

[Cdizzle]

Who reads those things?

Very few people, apparently. I've considered applying to the WSU staff to sit behind the bench with a copy of the rule book to advise them during the game.

If I was working a job where millions of dollars a year rode on the outcome of games and said games were governed by rules often poorly enforced, I would make a habit of being an expert in said rules.

So far, I have found that knowing the rules just provides more pressure to my bloodstream.

[Kung Wu]

Obviously a charge -- maybe even a flagrant on Utah's #2. Heck, maybe an _assault_!

You see Utah's #2 two clearly lower his shoulders and initiates the contact on the drive -- that's the foul. But then he channels his inner chi and illegally uses Bruce Lee's 1-inch punch technique to the groin, rendering his opponent's leg nerves as helpless as a fish on dry land. On the first video of the OP's post, you can see the punch take place at the 1 second mark, the 6 second mark, and barely at the 10 second mark.

As evidence I submit this video. Fast forward to 0:26 for the 1 inch punch.

Keep in mind, the dude in the video has a chair to stop his momentum. The poor Oregon guy is just making a solid defensive play and is helplessly caught by an explosive kung fu flying swordhand of one-inch fury near the groin (I once heard that can be very painful).
