[A]ccording to Clougherty, flopping can eventually bruise more than a player's body in the official's eyes.
"Eventually, the actors hurt themselves because as many teams as we have, [the officials] get to know who are the guys who are trying to fool them, and they discuss those things in the pregame -- the certain players out there that are taking flops, not contact," he said.
"... So while they may get a call that one time, they may not get a call later when there is legitimate contact."
