I've never "T'd" a player for flopping... however this is the way I deal with it...
1. I'll tell the player in no uncretain terms to get up
2a. Any marginal contact by this player (by flopping); most likely will be a foul so that...
2b. At the 1st chance to educate the player as to the penalty for flopping.
3. If the behavior continues at this point, when the oppurtunity allows itself I'll go to the coach and say "Coach, I need your help with number ___, In my view he (or she) is continuing to fake being fouled (flopping) after I have warned them, I would like you to address this before I have to. Thank you"
4. By this point, it should be dealt with however there is no question if there is a "T" for flopping, it will not be a surprise to anyone...
My 2 cents
