I will say I agree with the analyst statements as I said that above.
Fast high skill players draw penalties. Do they sell them yup. You can usually only sell if you get position first by beating your guy. I would say the analyst to a large extent reinforce my above post.

Diving to me is faking contact not selling a hook or trip.

Embellishment is a major part of the rule....like the guy who gets tapped on the helmet with the stick and throws his head back like he has been shot. But it works for getting calls, the embellishment is rarely enforced, so some players ain't gonna quit. It's a shame.
