A little poll. Who here is for hunh and their ability to exploit the rules to the fullest to gain offensive advantages such as stopping defensive substitution, putting pressure on the officials, etc, yet find the idea of defensive players Dropping for less than traumatic injuries reprehensible? Its just within the rules (how does a player know whether he is having heat stroke or is just tired? Hes not a doctor, why chance it? ). How many of you would be screaming for a new rule to stop it if it suddenly became prevalent? How many of the brave coaches championing the current set of rules would be screaming for a new rule? Ill hang up and listen.

I am not in favor of HUNH offense and believe if the defense must flop to slow it down, then go with it. Have not seen rules prohibiting it

One requires practice and efficiency and one requires being a bitch....
Why is this even a discussion

Teams are allowed to substitute.

Which of your five questions is the actual poll question?

Flopping was bad enough already. Now that the NCAA is giving in to all the have-nots and allowing the HUNH to continue as-is, the flopping will only get worse. The game is being ruined imho.

There's nothing unethical or illegal in using the rules to your team's advantage.

putting pressure on the officials
It's our job to accommodate the teams; not have the teams accommodate us. Anyone who says the HUNH causes some sort of undue "pressure" on officials only proves just how ignorant they are.
Rule Book Code of Ethics:
quote:
Feigning an injury for any reason is unethical. An injured player must be given full protection under the rules, but feigning injury is dishonest, unsportsmanlike and contrary to the spirit of the rules. Such tactics cannot be tolerated among sportsmen of integrity.
The HUNH works within the rules and ethics of the game while faking injuries doesn't.....
You'll have to up your troll game; this attempt fails.

NOTE TO ALABAMA FANS: DEFENSES CAN SUBSTITUTE AGAINST HUNH TEAMS.

This, to me, is another red herring that makes no sense. There is no rule requiring the crew to hustle up and spot the ball for the O. They can walk at an appropriate pace. Now this wouldn't solve the D substitution problem (which is what I think is Saban's real problem with the up tempo), but it would allow a few more seconds for guys to catch their breath. This can be done with no rule change.

You are implying that flopping is the only way to stop HUNH...
Posted on 3/8/14 at 2:17 pm to narddogg81
I agree.
I don't mind the HUNH at all, but people shouldn't get mad if players fake injuries. Both HUNH and faking injuries are legal

The HUNH and flopping are both within the rules and also against the spirit of the rules. If HUNH is used, I see no problem with using flopping to combat it. I'm not a fan of AU style flopping, but if you are tired and can't sub out, fall down.
