I know in our area floppers tend to be less and less at the varstiy level if the sub-varsity officials do there job and those of us that call summer or AAU leages handle it there as well. I've never called a T for flopping. It usually takes one flop and when they stand up and look for the whistle i try and keep it between the player and I ask "With no contact?" And it usuually settles it. If it becomes a problem next dead ball i'll grab the player and tell him "we see you flopping and we're not going to give you a whistle, so please kncok it off before someone gets hurt. keep it up and we'll t you." And if the coach asks what yall talked about you just tell him quitely - "makin sure he tied his shoes reall good so he'll stop trippin on 'em." I've only recived one dumb-founded look from a coach after that explanation.

Why fret the small stuff when flopping when we need to be working with our partners on the 60' player controls and other things more important to the flow of the game.
