This is the problem with the rule that so many of us saw coming. When it comes to flops, there are many more that are much worse than this. I have no problem with this being called, but watching other super obvious ones not be called makes me feel weird about it.

What exactly is the point of this? How does calling this a tech help the game at all. I've seen this called multiple times this season
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.
