Why won't this work?
Players started wearing suits to the games once stern started fining them for their pre-game attire. Players don't like losing money, no matter how much it is.
and no one wants to be the guy that got fined 30k for flopping

cmon man you got players that don't even wanna take pride in playing defense, you think they care whether they're known as a flopper or not? I'm sure CP3, Blake, Manu, Kobe, LeBron know they're floppers. I'm also sure they don't give a fukk.
As for the suit wearing thing, eventually the styles people had were gonna wear out. Now people wear suits, but notice how you don't see some people rockin suits before and after games and you never hear of a fine. The league has clearly been lax on that too lately (which explains why you can dress like a Brooklynite and not get a fine)
They will be reviewed by the league and handed out after games, the league already reviews EVERY game, Obvious flops will be reviewed and a fine/Suspension will follow.... Its like they do with the Flagrant fould, they determine the severity days after..
The ref made me flop - TrueHoop Blog - ESPN
On Heat Index, Tom Haberstroh digs into the NBA's new, as-yet unclear anti-flopping policy.
Erik Spoelstra and LeBron James are all for it, hoping it will cut down on, essentially, players taking slight contact from James and then hurtling to the floor as if shot.
But Heat forward Shane Battier is not on board. Battier has done his fair share of flopping -- he's aggressive and at times inventive in taking the charge. To some, hearing Battier opposes the new rule is a sign it's a good one.
Read what he has to say, though, and it's a tale of a culture of flopping that runs deeper than we had suspected -- all the way to the referees. Battier says, emphatically, that referees tell players to flop. I'm not kidding!
Here's Battier:
"The unfortunate thing about the block/charge (distinction) is that I’ve had many, many times where a ref told me that you have to go to the floor to get the call. By the letter of the law, I’ve taken a hit, but I’ve stood on my feet. Even though I’ve gotten nailed, the ref calls it a no-call. I say, ‘Ref, what’s wrong with that (charge)?’ He says, ‘You have to go down to get the call.’
"Inherently, there’s something wrong with that.”
Yes, yes there is.
Now, you might wonder why a referee would do something like that. Here's my best guess: Credibility matters a lot in their jobs. They need to be seen as making good calls. Call a charge on a guy who knocked somebody down, and you're seen as sensible. Call a charge after some contact on a drive which didn't send a body flying, and we all know what happens next: commentators, fans, everybody is screaming to "let them play."
Make a lot of calls that look funny on television, and it quickly becomes very tough to earn a reputation as a great referee.

Except a flagrant foul can also be reviewed on the spot
Chris Paul need to write the 30K check now.
I agree with this. But at least they are trying to do SOMETHING about it

I hope it works . I can just see the Ohh people Pay to see the stars and you suspending them whine.
If I'm a coach I take the game video and look for all the flops and make a big deal bout Any flops I see. Force the issue even if you get disciplined
The question is do these violations stack?
Cause if they do, then these fines could really add up

I didn't eat nobody
yeah they do, otherwise they'd just announce it as a $5K fine for every flop.
So this is for each game? Meaning the most they can get fined for 1 game is 30K?
Or can it go higher? Say a guy flops like 6 or 7 times in a game...

This is the real problem here. If you go to the floor, people are going to call it a flop but officials will call it a foul. If you don't go to the floor it looks like the defender is off balance and the official will call a blocking foul if anything at all.
