posté par Philly thing : | Shane Battier: "Bring on the anti-flop rules" ...
[...] Perhaps the loudest complaint from fans is that the charge should be abolished. For years, people have cried that flopping is ruining the sport. And if there was a HoopIdea pie chart of proposed rules, flop-related penalties would take up all but a sliver of the pie.
This might be a touchy subject for Battier. After all, drawing charges has been, among other things, the bread-and-butter of Battier's NBA life. He's mastered the art of charging to the point where if you close your eyes right now and imagine someone flopp ... err... taking a charge, you're probably envisioning Battier.
[...] But there's one key stipulation: offensive floppers would need to be called, too.
Battier joked that offensive flopping is "the silent killer" of the league. Sure, charge-takers might exaggerate the impact of a collision, but offensive players aren't exactly innocent either. In Battier's mind, an anti-flopping measure would need to be implemented on both ends of the floor.
"As long as they have the same penalty against offensive floppers – guys who drive through the lane and throw back their head and flail and cry – then I’d have no problem with it on the defensive end," Battier said.
As a ten-year veteran in the league, Battier has had plenty of teammates over the years who would be whistled under the proposed regulation. For instance, Luis Scola, who played with Battier in Houston for four seasons.
"The more hair you have, the better," Battier said with a laugh. "My boy Luis Scola, he’s got that long hair and when it gets sweaty and he starts flopping and flailing, it looks like he’s getting murdered out there.
"I love Luis Scola, but he’s the most egregious flopper on the offensive end."
Of course, Battier doesn't want to get rid of charges altogether. He just wants to make sure that if flopping rules are in place, it applies to both ends of the floor.
"The charge is a defensive weapon just like a blocked shot," Battier said. "If there’s a guy rolling down the lane, he wonders whether I’m going to take the charge or block the shot. So it’s a strategic weapon on the defensive end, one of few. Offensive players have way more strategic weapons and one of them is the egregious head flop."
