If they made it the real technical it should be maybe it would make a difference.

Make guys get tossed for it and risk suspensions over the course of a season and postseason, and actually enforce it, and maybe they'll cut the shit.

    As always, stars not playing is bad for the league, which is why it will never be an ejection.

    So is dogshit basketball.

    Nobody has ever once flopped by accident. You wouldn't get any meaningful number of ejections out of not making the penalty a complete and utter joke. You'd make guys stop flopping because it would no longer provide a competitive advantage.
