Or they could just train the refs to use common sense and not blow the whistle when a 170 pound chris paul goes tornado spinning from the top of the key into the stands because jj barrea leaned into him with his shoulder

This makes no sense to me. You telling me players can get away with flopping on the court but get fined by the league later? Why not have something that affects the game like a free throw or something?

No, you're sing too much common sense man. Expecting the refs to actually be competent and capable of doing their job at a high level is simply asking too much. The onus must be put on the players because the job of a ref is too "hard".

It's a stupid rule, the league is just copping out making the players the scapegoat for their own inefficiency. Let's see how many times they go back and penalize guys who flop while legitimately being fouled. This rule is waaay too subjective.
