Given that NBE officials are the best of the best, there'd be no reason any of them could possibly, given proper court positioning, miss a "faking being fouled" call if it needed to be called. Now, I certainly don't want to be guilty of "wishy-washy banter", but it sounds like an issue of what's there isn't called when it occurs, right? This is a no-brainer call for those who choose to call it when it happens.
On the other hand, this could only by speculation on my part since I haven't viewed a second of NBA basketball since 1994 or whenever it was that Charles Barkley almost led the Suns to a title prior to his advancement to cunning play-by-play announcer.
