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.

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.

If you actually are an official at any level and that is your actual opinion you do not need to be one any longer. The duty of the official is to see that the rules and procedures of the game are administered fairly and consistently at all times. Being in position to actual do your job before the ball is snapped is part of that, so is giving the replay official time to actually review the play.

I have seen, on numerous occasions, chain gangs not have the chains set during HUNH games. Officials are neither accommodating the teams nor providing quality game oversight in these instances. If you are really an official I pray you are in the minority with your attitude.

Given this is already on teh books and that the issue of player safety has been raised I think we should kill two birds with one stone and enforce the existing rule by making all "injured" players remain out for several minutes (or a change of possession) so they can be properly examined by medical staff before returning to the game.
That would eliminate the fake injuries, or at least limit the effectiveness of that as a general strategy.

HUNH came about because of the change to the play clock in 2008. 2008 rule clock change The Hurry Up offense has been around a long time. The NH part came about because of the rule change. Unethical coaches have used it to prevent substitutions. It came about because of a rule change. IMO, having players flop to stop the clock is unethical, but it is within the rules, so use it to your advantage. Some will want to have a rule to stop it, but they're just wussies.
