I'm in no hurry at all. He can take all the time he needs.

on this same note, what do you have to back up that you are an actual official and not some guy talking out of his arse?

Let's start with knowledge of the rules and mechanics and see if helps satisfy your questions about my competence:
You stated, earlier in the thread, that feigning an injury (flopping) is within the current rules of the game. Would you say feigning an injury to stop the clock meets the criteria of an unfair act?

what league do you officiate for, where?

Mostly JUCO and occasionally Div II.

how do you an define an injury? is a player with his breath knocked out injured? he certainly cant play the next play, but will likely be fine shortly. should he make efforts to get off the field to help the offense maintain its pace? how about guy who is dizzy? is he just tired from too many snaps in row, is he having a heat stroke, or just needs gatorade? are you qualified to judge that? is the player? i would say straight up faking an injury is unethical, but degree of injury is a gray area. and if you go by the hunh set's opinion, if you can, do it.

games, teams, dates, which official were you, calls you made please? only fair. the rules of football are published, anyone can look them up.
