Someone told me recently that when a player deliberately falls to make it appear that she has been fouled, an "unsportsmanlike conduct foul" should be assessed. I looked in the NCAA rulebook, but couldn't find that.

Can anyone tell me whether, under either Fed or NCAA rules, flopping is a foul?

If so, what is the standard -- how blatant does it have to be before you call it?

Flopping is a technical foul.
