Flopping is embellishment. Embellishment is cheating, and cheating is a flagrant technical.
If you flop, you're disqualified. If another member of the team flops later, he's disqualified and the coach is disqualified also.
Play the dang game right.
I agree with this take. This wouldn't need to be the case if they would hand out technicals for flopping like they should.
I love when some officials will just call the blocking foul and then wait for the overreaction by the player because they didn't 'get the call' and then hand out the technical. I like when it is done this way...because in the end the offensive team is likely gaining more of an advantage for the flop with FTs.
Problem is not every official does this and new officials tend to be afraid to call their first Techs for things like this.
