Before you go tooting your devil blue horn, you should understand a few things about flopping:
1. It is a relatively recent invention in the game, circa 1970. You are not going to like knowing its inventor. Can we all say "Dean Smith," boys and girls. It was invented by him at about the same time he installed that other great contribution to the modern game, the Four Corners. Heck, Dean literally made watching college basketball like watching people fish (does anyone watch those shows by the way). I mean, nothing happens for minutes on end when Carolina or a Carolina wanna be had the ball, and then when they go on defense, everybody's flopping around all over the court like fish out of water.
2. Charges were always part of the game, but they were not to be farmed. They happened when someone tried to run through someone. They were rare. Contact of that sort was rare. It was a good thing that such contact was rare. The game kept moving, and people made plays, elegant ones. Some offensive guy put down his head, actually his shoulder, and tried to make like Jim Brown, the refs called a foul. Somebody stepped in front of somebody, the foul was usually on the stepper. There had to be meaningful contact for anything to be called. The idea that there could be "charges" away from the basket, much less by people not moving towards the basket, was ridiculous.
3. I understand this business of forcing people to the baseline and then boxing them in. I'm all for that. K's invention and a damn good one. But, calling a charge on the offensive guy if his shoulder makes contact with the guy who stepped in his way, when no advantage has been gained, is a nonsense call. That is Dean Smith's invention, not K's. They should do away with that call yesterday.
4. In fact, the game would be safer and more elegant if there was no such thing as an "offensive" foul for charging. If an offensive player breaks the plane or whatever the term is and GETS AN ADVANTAGE, do like in choose up games. The other side gets the ball. Period. End of discussion (at least where we used to play, you could never challenge any call the other team made or we would still be playing our first game (a lot of lawyers in that group)). Defensive blocks, they would remain fouls.
Is Duke really accused of using it more than anybody? You guys should be glad. I bet it annoys the heck out of Dean everytime he hears that.
