ROLLASON: NBA makes moves to stop flopping

Championships, and as everyone continues to pick the Heat to win the title I thought it would be a good time to talk about one of the big storylines from this year’s playoffs — the NBA’s anti-flopping rule.

This year the NBA put into motion a stricter anti-flopping rule at the beginning of the playoffs. Players that violate the anti-flopping rule will be fined $5,000 for their first offense, $10,000 for their second offense, $15,000 for their third offense, and $30,000 for their fourth offense.

If a player violates the anti-flopping rule a fifth time they will be subject to an increased fine and/or a suspension that is consistent based on the individual case.
For the last few years flopping has become a huge ordeal in the NBA; players are becoming more clever and tricking the officials to call fouls on the opposing players.

In fact, players who are often found guilty of flopping have been labeled “floppers,” which in the NBA is something you don’t want to be characterized by. [Full Story »]

Winder-Barrow High School athletic director Justin Grant has resigned.

Grant, who submitted his letter of resignation to WBHS principal Al Darby Friday, had worked in the role for the past five years.

The Barrow Journal obtained a copy of Grant’s resignation letter which read:
“Thank you for the opportunity to work with you the past five years. You are a great leader, and I am truly going to miss working with you and your team at WB. WB is a great school, and I was glad to be a part of all the wonderful things you have going on here. At this time I unfortunately have to give you my resignation to be able to spend more time with my family. Thanks for all you have done for me.” [Full Story »]

The Bethlehem Christian Academy baseball team continued to dominate its postseason opposition last week and is now set for a state semifinal rematch from a season ago.
After dispatching of Citizens Christian in a doubleheader sweep Thursday, thoughts turned to the semifinal matchup with Crisp Academy, the team which ended the Knights’ season in 2012.

BCA coach Nick Pou said he and his players are looking forward to the rematch and thinks it will be a “fun” series.

A doubleheader is set for Friday at 1:30 p.m. with a third game, if necessary, on tap for Saturday. All games will be at Knights Field. [Full Story »]
