Nothing, and that's a completely different situation than what we are talking about. We are talking about players that flop trying to draw a whistle.
If a player anticipates and braces for impact and goes to the floor legitimately as a result of the contact we have a charge, no?
From the angle we had on that video the defensive player clearly went down on his own. Had he gotten tangled up with the offensive player while still in possession of the ball, a cutting player after a pass, or a rebounder after a try I would not have hesitated in calling a personal foul on him while on the ground.
