as I've said before, I can see the ncaa punishing defenses for flopping. they can easily institute a rule that a player who goes down between plays must sit out a certain number of plays in order to be evaluated by medical staff. thus, the ncaa would be addressing player safety while also sending a message to the fakers that if you fake it, you're going to be treated as hurt and will have to sit out whatever number of plays they deem necessary. I would think that a rule requiring 4 or 5 plays would basically make it too risky a proposition. in a tight game, that could be the difference between winning and losing. the ncaa is going to do what it can to continually expand the game by appealing to the casual fan, who is generally more inclined to watch a shootout than a defensive struggle. if anything, the ncaa will take action to stop those impeding a faster pace rather than take action against the faster-paced teams. and the ncaa and media will blame the floppers for turning the game into a joke if that becomes an issue.If the refs are set and ready, more often than not they will see the other stuff as well. It's just going to take a ref with some stones to not back down from a HUNH coach screaming at him to hurry up.
