I had a really bad flopper one time (oooh, that sounds bad, doesn't it?). After the second time (in about five minutes), I pulled him aside and said "you're flopping, you're not getting the call - knock it off." So he does it again - I call block. And again. Block. Again. Block! This dumb guy just doesn't get it.
Then he gets plowed - and I call block. He gives me the gears. I say "you've been flopping so much, it's too hard to tell". With four fouls, he sat until the last 5:00 of the game - I felt bad afterwards, but his flopping mysteriously disappeared and never returned.
Did his team two weeks later - not one flop. And he was moving his feet on D. Called charge after he got run over on a breakaway. Administered throw-in to him, and said, "now THAT was awesome defense". And he smiled.
