A foul is contact the referee judges to meet the level of a foul. A player can't fake a judgement, they can fake contact. So players can't fake being fouled ever only fake being contacted. WIth that in mind IMO we should only be calling technicals for faking being fouled if and when they are faking contact that didn't actually occur.

It may be awkward phrasing, but NCAA-Men's has put out clear guidance through training videos and rules clinics as to what types of plays and actions fall into that category. It is pretty easy for NCAA-Men's officials to adjudicate.
