[26 Year Gap]

I guess what I was really looking for was a definition of LGP as it relates to flopping. I made a no call on a flop where, had the D held his ground, i would have called the charge. But, the kid starts to take a dive, A makes contact (the defender is almost halfway to the ground when the collision happens). However, the defender's feet are still on the ground, just not underneath him anymore. Both kids end up on the floor, both coaches are on my butt like a wild hair.

One guy who taught my referee class said,"If the guy has his chin up in the air while going backwards, it is most likely a flop."
