I've been playing, coaching, officiating, and observing since mid-1960's. Never saw it called.
I'm pretty sure that some Forum members have seen it called (or called it). Others have posted about warning the perpetrator, or calling a "fake" foul on the perpetrator.
Probably see it called more in soccer (flopping).

There is a play in the IAABO "You Make the Ruling" Vol. 13 video that shows an official actually calling this. But the problem is that there are no parameters in the rulebook as to who to call this or not to call this. The NCAA has addressed this and gives many examples of how to rule on these kinds of plays. Does faking being fouled include embellishment? And if there is contact should this be the remedy?
This is play #4 under the "Block/Charge" section of the USB program BTW.
