This was released by IAABO in a recent Make The Call Play.

Interesting IAABO ruling.

Based on the information we have received this season, the NFHS rules editor has indicated that officials should rule only one infraction (play control, blocking foul, or faking being fouled) on block/charge plays.

Our main motivation for posting this play is to remind officials that there is one exception. The one exception is when a blocking foul occurs after a faking being fouled infraction has occurred.

If we deem a faking being fouled infraction to have occurred on this play, the defender is now lying on the floor, which is an illegal position on the court. If the offensive player subsequently trips over the defender, the official would have rules support to charge both a flopping infraction and a blocking foul on the same play.

That is an IAABO ruling, not NFHS.
The NCAA has the same ruling as IAABO, but the NFHS does not, according to a case booking ruling from many years ago, which no longer appears in the book.
