So was this a coaching call or just a spontaneous group flop?

It definitely occurred all at once.  My first thought is it would've worked to the intended outcome better had it only been one player.

Everyone at the Laurel vs Vancleave game Friday found out that MHSAA officials will call a delay of game penalty for faking injuries.  This occurred with Laurel down 41-33 and no timeouts under a minute left in the game ...

Maybe the cramp sniper shot them with a scatter gun all at the same time.

I agree 100% thats a bad look right there and the penalty was justified. But what happens if i player does go down, the official thinks he faking it, throws a flag for delay of game and it turns out to be a legitimate injury?

Agreed Vott that it does present a predicament. Definitely could be a judgment call, however there are a lot of judgement calls so I treat this no differently. If you think it's legit then don't throw flag. If you think it's suspect then throw it and live with it. Only other option would be mak a flat out rule 10 second runoff of something if game is stopped for injury and clock restarts immediately when ball is declared ready for play

No, they can re-enter the very next play.

I agree it would be hard to determine a legit injury. But if it happened again like Laurel did it with over half the team going down on one play? If you’re throwing a flag for delay it should be bumped to unsportsmanlike IMO. If it’s obvious enough to throw a flag make it a big enough penalty to struggle to overcome

Delay of game and unsportsmanlike  go ahead and get 20 yards on the penalty.
