Another great flop (early sit down & exaggerated contact) example and our crew does a great job of laying off the play. Build your recall/toolbox with these types of plays. Discuss them with your crew. This will bring consistency to your game.
C/S needs to hustle to starting point. He only sees the end of the play. This is another great example of a defender ejecting early. Aka... FLOP.
Here is a better flop example. The defender is on here heels & sits down to early. We compound the play by rewarding the defender w/ an offensive foul... IC As the L get wider for better vantage point.
Let's go! According to various people, NFHS-CBOA-CIF??? (Don't know CBOA or CIF) have assessed this as a "FLOP".
We 100% disagree. This is a blocking foul by the defender.
Here are the "DECISION POINTS":
Our L is jogging instead of hustling to a stationary position.
The defender is not in LGP. He does not beat him to the position on the floor.
Knee to knee contact
Fall was not exaggerated or theatrical
2 players hit the floor
Protect Airborne shooter
2-person game, Trail is in backcourt
Lead starts his rotation too wide. Should be in close down. This is why he's late to a stationary position. The call is a good layoff by the crew. This a flop/ early sit down.
The Trail would be better served to be "sideline oriented" so he ends up in a dependable position at the POC.
Concentrate on the L arm of the defender. It is not vertical and this should have been a shooting foul.
Does the defender sit down early and flop or do we actually have an offensive foul? Does it meet your check list?
