4-49-1 Faking begin fouled (flopping) occurs when a player
simulates being fouled or makes theatrical or exaggerated movements
when there is no illegal contact by committing such acts as, but not limited to:
a. Overtly embellishing the impact of
incidental contact on block/charge plays or attempted tries for goal
b. Using a "head bob" to
simulate illegal contact; or
c. Using any other tactics in order to create an
opinion of being fouled and therefore gaining an advantage
Emphasis added -- all of which means that you can't be fouled and flop on the same action.
(Note that A could, for example, fall back with no contact (flop) and then commit a foul by having B trip over A. That's a fould and a flop on the same player -- not BEING fouled and a flop on the same player.)
