HS Flopping

It is my job to watch games, both at the college and high school levels. The three-point flop is definitely more prevalent at the college level. At the high school level, block/charge flops are still number one.

Yeah...my initial comment was regarding high school basketball. I don't disagree that the most common form of faking a foul is the block/charge, but it is not worth POE. Not in my part of the country anyway.

If there were an RA in HS basketball, you wouldn’t see as many block/charge flops there, either.

Too much risk of losing track of where you are and then getting charged with an RA block as a reward for your acting skills.

They flop everywhere on the court. They do not just flop in the lane. They flop outside the 3 point line all often in high school. Also not all contact in the RA is a foul either, so they could still flop there.
