This was discussed three months ago (
Aug. 2024) with you and I discussing the likelihood of using preventative officiating to talk to players if they were embellishing contact to the point it might be judged a flop had a foul not been called.
I know FIBA allows for both a flop and foul to be called on the same play. I can't speak for Pro/NCAA.
