When a flop doesnt result in any contact whatsoever, it obviously cannot be a block.
When a flop causes the airborne shooter to hit the deck, in order to do our job & protect the shooter, to me, its gotta be a block.
When 2 bodies are down & the defender laid down causing the shooter to go down... BLOCK.
In my experiences, calling a flop a block keeps players from flopping.
I've even heard coaches say to their players, "Play D & stay on your feet, they arent going for it tonight!"

Yep. They may also turn or duck
when contact is immenent.
The
bolded part is not only part of that rule, it is also missing from this equation. Sorta like the word
intentional in a kicking violation.
