usually about once or twice per season I'll have a 'big' feign getting charged on by point guard who is spinning to start his attack fast break---the pg will spin dribble and barely glance the big and the big will tumble like a stack of cards--then look askance at me--''asking for the charge"...I treat this as a "play on" situation--when it's obvious to all players--even his own teammates that he has flopped.
*moreso, even his own coach could be herd yelling from the bench "get your butt up and hustle down on defense"--so eryone knows the 'big' flopped--it's so humorous to see a 5ft 5in 100 lb pg "pummel over" a 6ft 3i 200 lb post player going 6 mph--and th big falling backwards and wildly contorting his body on the hardwood floor as if he was rear-ended by a semi truk..lol
