Watch for it. It happens multiple times per game, and is called more than once a game. The ref looks over and sees a UNI player on the floor with a defender standing over them. Because their arms were tangled, it can be perceived that the defender actually pushed the offensive player down. It is clearly a coached behavior.
I'm sure this means you could provide me with an example of it happening? Having watched or listened to nearly every UNI game, I've yet to hear or see anything that would lead me to believe that UNI is getting called for flops.
The only thing I've seen in the Jacobson Era that is clearly a "coached behavior" in regards to fouls is taking charges. If we're going to start criticizing teams for this then you have a very long list to start working on.
