I could be wrong, but everything regarding faking being fouled (flopping) is there except the One In A Million Play.

And TJ Halliday (NFHS Basketball Rules Committee) has already stated that the NFHS signal chart is in error.

Not sure why the NFHS hasn't admitted the same, but I'm pretty sure that if TJ Halliday knows about the error, the NFHS knows about the error also.

And, of course, as both you and TJ Halliday have stated, some states are choosing to "go it on their own", distancing themselves from following NFHS rules, interpretations, signals, guidelines, best practices, etc., regarding such.

All I can reference is what I was told by people in higher positions in my state. The IHSA put out literature that went against what TJ stated and someone is under the impression or telling states how things are supposed to be done. Maybe someone was speaking out of turn or talking before all the issues were ironed out. I believe TJ totally from his point of view, but I also believe the people in my state came up with their own literature on the issue.

This goes back to again the NF's rollout of this was horrible. Absolutely horrible. They could have addressed many of these things directly in their literature and not causing further confusion.

TJ Halliday also mentioned this last week in his Zoom clinic presentations, many states have set their own guidelines regarding flopping.

You clearly do not get what I am saying. The NF is doing their own thing for a rule they did not create or invent. The signal was decided to be given multiple times. But the NF insists on a minor issue about how many times you give the signal. Illinois put it in their video that the signal was to be given at least twice so it could be seen. Giving it once might even not make the situation communicated properly.
