This is a flop. However, I feel like when most people think about flopping and wanting to get flopping out of the game, 80-90% of the time we are thinking about offensive players flopping. Am I wrong with this? The head snaps and arm flails that are still constantly called fouls is what drives me crazy.
If you just don't call fouls on a defensive player that flops, I feel like there is already punishment built in with the fact the the offensive player is open/in a very good position. For offensive players that flop, there is no negative consquence if they don't get the foul that they are trying to bait usually. I snap my head back and continue on if it isn't called. There's no risk which is why it is so prevalent.
I guess my point is that I feel they should be focusing way more on offensive flopping than they have been.
100%. Also, if you want to stop flopping on defense, maybe don't require players to fall down like mannequins in order to get a charge call?
