A flop is when a player purposely throws himself backwards or out of the way to make it look like he or she was run over. If that is what they are doing when people refer to "falling away," then I would agree that this would likely bring block call. I would rather call a block instead of calling an immediate T if we judge a flop to be faking being fouled. The problem is it is hard to tell sometimes so officials tend to pass on these types of plays.
If a player legitimately ran another player over, I will call a PC Foul all day. I tend to call more PC fouls than most people anyway.
