I personally would have a no call and tell the kid to get up. Inform him that by flopping he is not only not going to get the call but he is also putting his team at a disadvantage because he is no longer in position to defend the ball handler who now probably has a clean lane to the basket. If they continue to flop I have heard alot of officials say that they just start calling a block if any contact occurs.

Either way, the kid is not helping himself or the team by flopping.
