I'm going to pretty much end up echoing others, but you have got to put a stop to flopping for two reasons. First of all, it's a safety issue. Players are in danger when bodies are on the floor. Second of all, he's trying to influence your calls by faking being fouled. It's a clear tech if it's that obvious. If his flopping is causing the shooter to hit the floor, you really need to make the call.

This drives home my point. The shooter is trying to control himself and falls because this knucklehead is trying to fool the officials. It's happening more than once, and you're just letting it go.

And here is where you harvest what you sowed.

Coach asked "what, NO FOUL?!" and I would respond with "Coach, there was no contact".

"little contact" can still be a foul if it forces a player to the floor. In this case, "no contact" is a foul because it's unsporting actions that led to the fall that led to the wrist injury.

This is what I did which I believe to be correct. Since ball was never put back into play, this is a correctable error situation.

Ugh, this is not a correctable error. You can't call a foul, shoot the free throws, and then uncall the foul by saying the free throws were unmerited. The free throws were merited because you called a foul. What if someone tried to do that with a shooting foul, would you think they were justified?
