Louisville’s Chris Jones Benched for Kentucky Flop [VIDEO]

UK fans have been having a field day with Louisville senior point guard Chris Jones' now-infamous flop during the Cardinals' loss to Kentucky Saturday. But one of LOUISVILLE'S biggest fans was particularly unhappy.

Cardinal head coach Rick Pitino was SO unhappy, in fact, that he benched Jones for Louisville's game against Long Beach State--which they won handily, anyway, 63-48.

Pitino didn't mince words in an interview with WDRB-TV as he described is displeasure with Jones over the incident, saying, essentially, that it's a poor representation of Louisville basketball.

I applaud for Pitino for that move. I hope it sends a message and that nonsense can finally go by the wayside. Everywhere.

In the NBA, you get a technical for flopping if it's caught during the game. You get fined if it's caught in post-game reviews.

ESPN color commentator Jay Bilas called Jones out on TV and suggested that maybe the NCAA should go ahead and T players up in college hoops, too.

Now, despite the displeasure from coaches and analysts over the incident--and, yes, it's harmless in the grand, grand scheme of things, but it still shouldn't be allowed--some folks have had a lot of fun with it.
