Embellishment calls are necessary and, in my opinion, not called enough. The amount of dives and embellishment attempts have gotten completely out of control. It is usually the same players that do it, which makes it even worse. I believe that they should be called more, and similar to soccer, I think there should be some kind of accumulation penalty. After maybe two embellishment penalties it is larger fine, after your third, you get an automatic one game suspension. If they continue after your suspension is over, all of these get worse. Double the fine after the second instance , two game suspension after the third instance. These would all continue to go up. All of this diving and embellishing needs to stop. It ruins the integrity of the game and it ruins the best sport in the world. Like I said earlier, it is mainly a select few players that are the ones doing this repetitively, and those guys wont start getting the message until it hits them where it hurts, their wallets and in the locker room.
