Jae is the master. I can't decide whether to say he should be careful or to be confident that he will continue to get away with it.
Years ago they put a rule in college basketball that flopping was a technical. I have never seen it called and I am not sure the rule still exists. Some rules are so judgemental they probably should not exist. I think the change they should make would be to make a charge a turnover only. A wrongly called charged can be a real game changer especially when it puts the player in foul trouble. In my opinion the penalty is too great for a charge.

Could not agree more. If the player is making a legit move to the basket (no pushoff et al) it should simply be a turnover.

NBA referees are seldom kind to rookies.
I saw the topic and I thought Bo cooled on the NBA.

Not sure about Bo, but clearly Jordan Taylor did.
