Is it true that immediately after the game Brooks had voice mails from the GMs of Manchester United, Chelsea, and FC Barcelona?

I remember Brian Evans at IU would fall down every time a Purdue player ran past him.

9.8 and 9.75 from the Lithuanian and French judges, respectively. Needed just a bit more expression for perfection.

Only in cases where the flop results in a flagrant foul being called on the opponent. Per the rulebook:

Class A Unsporting Technical Fouls- Faking Being Fouled. (Rule 10-3.1.d).
A player shall be assessed a Class A technical foul for faking being fouled by an
opponent but only when discovered and confirmed by instant replay during a
review for a flagrant foul thought to have been committed by the opponent.

The rule needs to stand on its own without being tied to a flagrant. It needs to be two shots and the ball also. This only going to happen more with Lebron doing it every other game.
