So defender lets out the big yell and throws him/herself down and then the shooter ends up not having any place to land.

But if you have cookies, I can be convinced to see it your way!
I see what you're saying. I was not picturing a true flop. As I said earlier, I think we're all envisioning the play a little bit differently.
