I've heard it said that you can call unsportsmanlike play for someone flopping to draw a foul call. Has anyone ever called a technical for flopping? I've never seen it done. Would it ever be wise to call it? Usually the kid has the puzzled look on his face, and he's totally indignant that he didn't get the call. I usually shrug, smile, and tell him, "I call fouls, not flops." I actually heard a coach tell a player who got a blocking foul, loud enough to be sure I heard, "Next time flop and then you'll get the call!" Anybody?
