Yeah, I agree. If there is no penalty for taking a dive, then soon players will be doing it all the time. (Soccer, anyone?) If tried unsuccessfully during the game, it should be unsportsmanlike conduct. If it works and a player is ejected, but is seen later clearly to be a performance, the player taking the dive should be suspended for the next game. Either that or make it reviewable during the game by replay officials and still eject the perpetrator. I don't know... they can work it out. It's not like it changed this game, but it's a very bad incentive for players to have nothing to lose by trying, but everything to gain.
