You might recall that South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley had a flop vs. Kentucky last weekend that was so obvious it would make Grayson Allen shake his head.
A fan called into Will Muschamp’s show last night and said the play was embarrassing and wanted to know if it was addressed.
It turns out that Muschamp actually supports flopping and even encourages it:
“It’s embarrassing to me,” a fan told South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp during his weekly radio show Thursday. “It’s not really a good look for us as Gamecocks.”
The caller asked if it has been addressed. The Gamecocks’ coach had a hilarious reply.
“If he’s trying to get a 15-yard penalty, then I’m all for it,” Muschamp said. “The guy is a hell of a competitor. If he’s trying to get a 15-yard penalty, let’s do it.
“The guy competes his [butt] off,” Muschamp said. “Let’s go. Next question.”
Here is Bentley’s flop in case you missed it:
