The NFHS Board of Directors approved 12 changes in the NFHS Basketball Rules Book for the 2024-2025 season. 

The most notable change was in regards to "flopping". A new definition and warning for "flopping" has been added. 

"Flopping" is defined in rule 4-49-1 as when a player simulates being fouled or makes theatrical or exaggerated movements when there is no illegal contact. 

The established procedure for officials is to issue a team warning on the first instance and that will be recorded in the scorebook and reported to the head coach. Additional instances after that will result in a team technical foul and not a player technical foul.
