Definitely still a flop - he was trying to draw contact and then planned on flopping.

He missed the contact but his cerebellum had already loaded up function flop_procedures(int flail_factor, int facial_expression, int disbelief) so he was committed.

I don't think he was trying to draw contact. He was just trying to square up to Trae and the nudge made him lose balance. Idk how he planned on flopping, he fell and looked at the ref right next to him hoping for a call.
