At camp this summer the head of our state association talked about giving the T for "flopping". He wanted us to make sure there was a call when bodies were falling in the lane, either a block or charge, and if there's not contact, call the T. More than a few eyebrows went up at that meeting. I've never even heard of anyone making that call. I agree that it seems a little harsh, but if that's the way the rulesbook wants it called, that's the way we should be calling it. Coaches are really going to have to change the way they teach if we are really going to crack down on this.
