re: moral equivalency? hunh vs flopping

They're taking advantage of it to try and limit defensive substitutions as much as possible. Prior to 2008, when a play ended the officials would get the officiating crew set,teams would substitute, and then blow the whistle for a 25 second clock to start the play. Then they went to this 40 second clock rule. The play began when the previous play had been blown dead. Some coaches figured out that you could get the ball into play so quickly that defensive teams had substitution problems, but you had to have the cooperation of the officials to do it. Watch how much faster the officials get the ball into play when a HUNH team is on offense. Their officiating suffers because of this. So, to fix this, the officials need to go at the same methodical pace for whatever type of offense is on the field, or go back to pre-2008 clock rules. That rule change changed the nature of the game, favoring the offense, and some coaches are taking advantage of it. It's like Saban said, they need to figure out what type of game they want. They want everybody going to a HUNH with the rules we have now? You WILL see a lot more injuries, and a totally changed street ball game.
