T for flopping

I have been studying my rulebook. I was looking at the points of interest. 4-B states that a technical foul should be given for flopping or making it appear that a player has been fouled. I don't remember hearing of this being enforced. How much of a "flop" do you allow before issuing a T?

I've never called a T, but I've called it a block plenty of times. In the lane area it is very dangerous, for all the players including the floppee.

For me it depends on how much it effects the offensive player. If they need to contort to avoid the flopper, I've been known to call it a block.

Usually, I tell them to stop flopping, or if there is contact and they try for the Academy Award, I'll tell them to stop trying to sell it.
