Mark Cuban teams with SMU biomechanics to research flopping

[RockyTop22]

Cuban's company Radical Hoops Ltd. awarded a grant of $100,000 to fund the 18-month study.

The researchers will look at how much force is required to cause a legitimate loss of balance. They'll also examine to what extent players can influence the critical level of force via balance and body control. They will also explore techniques by which the forces involved in collisions might be estimated from video or other motion capture techniques.

The research findings could conceivably contribute to video reviews of flopping and the subsequent assignment of fines, Weyand said. “It may be possible to enhance video reviews by adding a scientific element, but we won't know this until we have the data from this study in hand.”

Fascinating. But wouldn't this be more NBA related than NCAA?

He should move the study to Duke. They know all about flopping.

You should check again.

Meant by, buying top talent and competing every year -- seems 1 was good enough for him, now his toy is back on the shelf --- much like the other guy in Dallas -- the football owner.
