Can you tell me where I can find the clause stating that there cannot be illegal contact even though a player "flops?"

I only use the term "flop" when the contact by the player in motion is not illegal. APG understands me. We have bonded over these videos.

The accepted definition of a "flop" is faking contact when there is very minimal or no contact.

Watch out, you'll be told you don't have a sense of humor very shortly.

There is no such statement. There was also no contact, just the defender extending his forearms toward Barnes cut and then flopping backwards.

Haha...you're right. The play in question though, the player embellished contact that in of itself was not illegal and the official bought it. Not the first time in history, won't be the last.
