If players are going to get rewarded for flopping, I'm not going to blame them. Good for Mason taking advantage of what everyone else is doing.
But I wish both NCAA and NBA would get rid of that. Review the potential flops during commercial breaks. If the player flopped, not only would you remove the foul (if one was called) and remove any points for free throws, but, for egregious cases, I would call a technical on the player that flopped. At some point, say under two minutes, you might have to stop play instead of wait for a break in the action. Or force the opposing coach to call a time out if they want a review.
But the flopping is bad and it would be fairly straight forward to eliminate it.
