A flop is when a defender falls backward intentionally in an effort to embellish minimal (or no) contact.

Many of us are afraid to make the correct call because of fears of being fooled on a legitimate flop.

What is a legitimate flop?

In proper rule language:

10-3-6 -F: A player shall not: Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as: Faking being fouled, knowingly attempting a free throw, or accepting a foul to which the player was not entitled.

A flop is only one example of faking being fouled. There are others.

That has nothing to do with the NCAA (at least W) rule. There is no T for flopping.

griblets didn't specify high school, or college, so I went with what I know.

I don't know but I've heard officials will shut it down.

What is a legitimate flop?

I know what a flop is. It was a rhetorical question...and a poor choice of words. Legitimate flop? Laughing at myself.

By legitimate flop, I meant really feigning being fouled. Reggie Miller was a flopper. Dennis Rodman was a flopper. I don't see that in this video nor many of the other block/charge videos have been discussed recently.
