There are rumblings that the league might institute a ``no flopping'' rule next season that would give officials the option of calling a technical foul on players who get creative in attempting to get a charging call. It was a topic kicked off when NBA Vice President Stu Jackson said earlier in the season that the league was ``looking into it''; that comment has been received warmly by oft-complaining coaches. Varejao is the unofficial leader in taking charges; he has more than 60. He has built a reputation for it and, on occasion, has embellished a little to get there. ``If they do put that rule in, I'm not going to change my game,'' Varejao said. ``The charge is a part of basketball; if they changed it, then they would be changing the game.'' It has been pointed out by anti-floppers that FIBA has provisions against flopping in international play. But those rules seem almost never to be enforced, as international games often take on a soccer-like tone, with players exaggerating contact. Varejao, who has played internationally for Brazil since he was a teenager, thinks it is easier to get a charge in the NBA. That is because of the no-charge zone, which was instituted by the league to cut charges. ``It is that line -- if you get into position outside that line, then the official has to give it to you,'' Varejao said. ``It is harder in FIBA, because they can let it go.''</div> Source
