I was responding mainly to the specific wording used that would establish faking being fouled as a "violation" vs. a warning. I can see that for offensive flopping - stop play, it's a turnover and the defense gets the ball. It would also work on a shot - offense gets the ball on a made or missed basket without needing to rebound? But when the defense flops on the floor without a try, how would a violation be enforced? Give the ball to the team that already had it in the first place?

I do not think they were asking if there is to be a violation in the literal sense, but if we should call something for flopping. And until they actually decide this is something that is going to be addressed (which they have never done) then we are purely speculating. It is a Class B Technical in NCAA Men's and goes back to POI. The offensive team could keep the ball in some cases.
I will wait until they actually address this if they ever address this.
