Agree 100%. Now check out the contact on his shooting elbow.
Did he "flop" enough for technical foul?
Been around basketball for over fifty years as a player, fan, coach, and official. Never observed this called. Never. Ever.
Maybe that's why some of us say, "He may have flopped"? Once we say, "He flopped", we probably (depends on how one defines "flop") have to penalize.
Wink. Nod.
