Here is the NFHS clarification on this.
Actually published way back in the 2001-02 Comments on the Rules Revisions. It was longer ago than I thought. That was the year that the NFHS added the requirement that players must remain standing during a 30-second time-out.
REQUIREMENT TO STAND DURING 30-SECOND TIME-OUT (5-12-5):
To clarify and ensure consistent interpretation, during a 30-second time-out, players shall remain standing and on the floor in the vicinity of their team bench. Additional discussion reflected concerns about some states not enforcing the 'no cheerleaders' on the floor during a 30-second time-out and whether or not substitutes should be permitted to join the conference with the coach(es) and players. Because of instructions that may be given, the interpretation has been that team substitutes should be able to participate in the time-out meeting.
A reminder that teams must be prepared and leave the huddle when the 10-second warning signal is sounded.
*Note the warning signal was changed to 15 seconds prior to the end of the time-out period in the 2007-08 season.

You can print the above passage from the NFHS.
You can strive to find an old NFHS Rules Book from 2001-02 and show it to him.
You can let him continue to do as he wishes and just ignore him.
Some might even ask the assignor not to put him with them in the future because this guy just won't listen to reason.
