Flopping
A change to FIBA rules this year was that flopping is a Tech. However it was also pointed out that a Tech is an non-contact foul, and the unsportsmanlike foul (or intentional) is a contact foul -
Flopping without contact = Tech.
Flopping with contact = No call, etc
The difference is in the Tech rule for FIBA there is no mention of unsportsmanlike activity, only not playing in the spirit of the game - Unsportsmanlike actions are covered in the unsportsmanlike rule, and are defined differently.
Is this the same in HS/NCAA?
