Camorn, a foul is in the eye of the beholder. Just like some officials won't call a charge if the defender is under the basket, I'm not calling one if the defender is flopping and there's no displacement. To each his own.

No displacement, I agree....nothing to call.
Notice that I said "plows over"...which I meant to imply substantial displacing contact.
There are those who will refuse to call a foul just because B1 was trying/starting to flop in spite of substantial displacement.

I won't, I'll just call a block and then tell B1 to stop flopping.

How can you justify that? B1 was in LGP falling away from the shooter who then crushed B1. I could almost stomach a no call...but a block? In what way did B1 commit a blocking foul?

I'm not talking about a play where B1 leans back and A1 puts him in the second row. I'm talking about the play where B1 starts falling to the ground and grunts well before A1 even gets there.
