Default Ethics/Rules Question

I was just watching a higher stakes sng and its folded to the SB and BB types "calling". Is this clearly against the rules, unethical, or what?

Who tells them?!?! I just call their shove and suckout obv. This is pretty funny though and I don't think its really unethical or against the rules.

It doesn't violate rules to claim you are going to make a certain action when you are headsup.

fact. A couple years ago I was playing a mix NLH/PLO8 300 buy in game. The game was played with a rake and seemed to be run well. On the end I had bet the turn and as I was reaching my opponent, HU on the end of the PLO8 hand said "I'll call whatever you bet". It was not in violation of any rules. This is effectively the same thing.
