I'm in the other camp. I almost always call a block on the flopper. I see it as a safety issue. Not only does this player make the officials and the game look bad to the fans who scream when no call is made, but they could be stepped on while on the floor. This could hurt that player or another who turns and ankle or twists a knee in the process.
If the coach questions the call, I usually tell them, "He faked it(flopped) and I could call a it T if you prefer." I'll also let the coach know that if he can get his kid to stand there and take the contact, I'll happily call the PC for him.
I have never had to make this call more than once in any game.
