Now the only other definition one could also use for flop is faking being fouled (NFHS) which is a technical, but Ive only seen it called once in my life and told to only use in the most extreme, Ray Charles obvious situation.

As for the play, I have lateral movement by the defender after the offensive player is airborne and a blocking foul. I think the lateral movement, by the defender, caused the offensive player to clip the defender with his foot.
