Disagree that it doesn't happen often for the reason stated.

I'm saying it doesn't happen often for only the reasons stated. When a player intentionally falls to the floor avoiding/absorbing contact, it is usually for the purpose of imbellishment.

I knew what you were saying when I disagreed the first time.

That's what I thought you meant...but wanted to make sure.

Somebody let me know when an official calls a T for a 3-point shooter faking being fouled.

I've called this once. The player involved was clearly faking while trying to draw a charging call, and by clearly I mean that he was going down while the offensive player was two steps away from him.

I warned the player and yet he did it again as the half was ending. I also told the coach I had warned the player. The coaches response was that he teaches them "that way". Ah, OK coach.

Start of the second half ... same player ... same flop so I assessed the T for faking being fouled. It had to be cleaned up.

I've called one for a coach screaming for a foul after his shooter fell to the floor following minor post-release contact on the wrist.
