Reports indicate the NBA is close to finalizing procedures that will deal with flopping.  NBA Commissioner David Stern feels as if too many players are deceiving the refs into making incorrect calls.  The league's 62 referee's are undergoing their training camp at this time and the enforcement of the anti flopping penalties will take place this season.  NBA Spokesperson Tim Frank stated the following:

"The procedures will likely involve a postgame review of the play by the league office, rather than an official calling an infraction during the game, Frank said. Players would likely be fined if the league determined they flopped."
