It's never a good idea to make up your own rules imo. If an official has a concern about a player flopping, then the rules already allow that official to stop the practice. If you want to warn first, fine. If it bothers you or if they ignore your warning, then simply issue the technical foul. If you don't want to use the rules that we have though, don't get into making things up.

I know there's no contact. Hey I just had "bad judgement" on that play. What's the flopper's Coach going to say? He flopped?
