The Great Debate: The Flop

[donfowler]

It's a no call. The defense has put themselves at a disadvantage but not being able to rebound a possible miss.
If a coach complains, I just tell him/her that it was a "flop" and it's not a valid defensive play.

I've called T only once. After several no calls by the crew. Outlet pass on fast break was just short of mid court/tableside. Player catches ball in the air and comes down with both feet to a complete stop. Defensive player is about 4 feet away, yells and falls to the court. Coach goes crazy that I don't call charge. I called the T for unsportsmanship.
