some kids in certain programs are known to try to draw a lot of charges so we always discuss in pregame good viewing angle/defender position/initiate contact/ result and the time to call a technical foul on a fake charge is when the defender falls BEFORE contact is made. If you have a good angle and consistently reff the defense it isnt really that hard of a call.
That being said, I would only call a technical if it is obviously being done to deceive the officials and not a kid bailing out because he is afraid to get hit.
