Fouls, legitimate fouls which by the rules could be valid calls, are often not called by officials. Either because they missed them, or they've decided to "let them play" or a thousand other subjective mental processes. I can't blame a player for trying to help them out and make them adhere to rulebook calls in a particular instance.
I don't like flopping but I can't be judgmental about it. I've seen enough of Caitlin to think she doesn't do it to manufacture contact that doesn't exist; I'd like to think she feels actually fouled and is just responding in an exaggerated manner to make it clear what (she thinks) has actually happened. If a player cheats in that respect the official can make a judgement.
Many (probably most) players probably feel that officiating error of this kind is just part of the game and that fouls called/not-called pretty much even out over the long run; they just get on with their lives without drama. I like that; I think that's generally part of the UConn way (though at times we can flop with the best of them).
