Another thing - The other day I had a player A1 who my partner (trail) says was falling back before B1 made contact. On my vantage, at some point B1 lowered the shoulder into the torso of A1 and A1 went down.

My partner and I talking at halftime, he said that A1 was flopping. I said I saw contact. He said that he was flopping first though. I didn't think that was relevant, since contact WAS eventually made and clearly shoulder to torso. Your thoughts?
I HATE the thought of rewarding a defender on a flop. Unless the offensive player created some pretty severe, obvious contact, I'm going to call a block. If the defender complains, I'll tell him that he flopped so hard it was hard to tell if the opponent even touched him. He should get the message.

OBTW, I do believe this post puts me just one shy of the 1,000 mark. Not that I'm keeping track or anything
