This. The inconsistency of foul calls. I understand the mentality of "if you're not cheating, you're not trying" and "if you're not flopping, you're not trying", but it ruins the game for me.

We should train ML to make the foul calls in real-time.

Then get rid of the strict rulebook definition of what a foul is. Have the fans vote on past plays, what should be a defensive/offensive/no foul. Then train the LLM based on the opinions and let it make the foul calls.

Flopping techs should be handed out like candy. They can be determined during commercials. I don't know a single fan who wouldn't love this. I'm curious why the NBA doesn't crack down more. I'm assuming it has something to do with internal politics, maybe with the star players.

The owners have ceded way too much power to the players.
