Anyway, this thread includes 2 new ways (new to me at least) of determining a flop and now I'm left wondering why it's a good idea to watch a defenders feet or head when we should be looking for body contact.
I don't know, Dan, I think it would be possible to watch for contact, and also watch the defender's head. The feet are more tricky, and I think less telling. But the head could be a great indicator of what's happening in the defender's brain. I do think that this shouldn't be the only measure, though. A kid may start to flop, but then get bowled over. In that case, if the defender is actually moving backward (to flop), and he or she still takes enough contact, I'd call the PC.
