tell me if I’m having an epiphany right now

Do players flail when being fouled while shooting just to get the ref to blow the whistle or because genuinely they do it to gather enough energy to shoot the ball because their original shooting motion was interrupted?

It’s the body’s response to attempt the shot again while the arm is raised so it has to go back down (not all the way) and back up again

Sell the contact. I know you don’t watch football but D linemen flail around to sell the hold to draw flags regardless of how minimal the hold is or in this case the contact is

Yeah but that doesn’t mean that applies to this situation

Like basketball players have to be doing it because linemen in another sport do it ?
 
My point is they are drawing attention to the contact. Just like d linemen exaggerate to draw flags. Same principle.
No I know what you’re point is

I’m just saying that’s not a law

Let’s say you are sitting on a couch and you drop the remote on the floor and you rush to pick it up

Does that mean that if I’m sitting on a couch at home and I drop the remote..

It’s not possible for me to take my time to pick it up because you don’t do that?
