No.
So the en vogue thing for PGs now is to throw their head back when their defender makes contact with them while dribbling. See it all of the time even though there is no foul.

Whack him?

I would say no ... the potential "faking" T is usually considered to be the play where the defender is attempting to draw a PC/charging foul but flops (no contact) instead. Although, if egregious enough, I guess it could apply in other situations as well.

Was it ever clearly spelled out that that specific action was a T?
The only time I've seen it called was in a sectional game in Indiana (Clinton Prairie/Frankfort) in 1978--it was spelled out in the rules, even back then.

Bad part was, the defender got absolutely trucked.
