Speaking of flopping/fake injuries in games. If it can be proved...

... to have been a flop, is there something in the rules to address it?

I don’t believe so at this point..

I saw one happen, recently, and it was flagrant. It amounted to a free timeout for the team who did it, and they did it while on defense, at a point when the opposing team had momentum and was moving the ball.

How/why they would have no rule for something like that is mind boggling. Sure, if/when someone fakes it so that you truly can't tell, that's one thing. But the one I saw involved the player actually jogging over to the sideline, pointing to his leg muscle (back of his thigh) and signalling for someone to come in for him. After he had already crossed the hash marks, looking directly at the sideline, he came to a sudden stop, looked for a second, then took a step back toward the center of the field and literally just fell over. It was so blatant that there is no way anyone wouldn't see that it was a flop.
