I see "flop" comments all over this message board when discussing block/charge calls. It's amazing to me how many of us look for any reason possible for no calls on what are clearly PC fouls. Many of us are afraid to make the correct call because of fears of being fooled on a legitimate flop. This defensive player had position and took the contact. The defense deserves to be rewarded for getting to the position first and making a good defensive play.

Players who flop should not be rewarded. But I think there is such a witch hunt for floppers that legitimate defensive plays are being penalized far too frequently.

That is where we disagree. I don't think the defensive player took as much contact as you do. I have no problem calling charges but I'm not going to reward bad defence.
