Well Football or Soccer whichever country you come from has the flopping (diving in soccer) rule for FIFA:
"The game's rules now state that "Attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled (simulation)", must be sanctioned as unsporting behaviour which is misconduct punishable by a yellow card." So in Basketball we can give the flopper a technical and award the opposite team free throws & ball possession. Quote:

Most players straighten up and cut it out after a tactful warning. It's not "nuclear" when it regards "safety." Most officials are just too chicken to call it even when it's truly merited.

Hey Freddy. I love it when you quote Harry Truman.

Again, I wasn't there, though, and I'm probably out of line for even bringing it up. If so, disregard.

Again, I'm one of the few I know who has actually made this call. Like you, we just don't see it here. If I no-call a play like that, where the defender bailed too early and actually cost himself the call, the coach inevitably tells the player to stay in there and take the contact.
I'll usually verbally warn one player a season (on average) to not try to trick me like that. I've never had to go beyond that initial warning except for that one YMCA game a long time ago.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt ...
I've never charged a technical foul for a flop, but it's in the holster if I need it, and if I ever use it, it's not going to be because I'm 51% sure that it's a flop, I'm going to be, up around, 99% sure that it's a flop.
