How many of you "call the T and flopping will stop" grandstanders have ever called a T for it?
I understand where you're going & I seriously doubt guys are whacking players for that. Many people feel that the acting 3 point shooter put himself in a bad defensive position by laying down & that is penalty enough as everyone is headed the other way.
Cant blame the player for trying, they know if the covering official is watching the flight of the ball, they might get that call. Smart players!

IMO bodies down in the paint is of more concern than a shooter down at the arc.
