Nope!
This is where the AD (or the equivalent) needs to step in and report the infraction to the state association. If this happens, it will be an opportunity to "check" the AD's (or school's) integrity.
I had a similar situation in my first game from last year. Varsity girls' game, start of the fourth quarter, A9 reports to the table. B's scorekeeper says that A9 had played 3 quarters in the JV game and that the fourth quarter of the varsity game was going to be her 3rd quarter in that particular game. In our state, a player is only allowed to play 5 quarters/night. At the time, neither my partner nor I knew what the proper ruling was supposed to be. Later, I found out that this situation is out of the official's jurisdiciton, and that it was up to the schools to take care of the problem. It ended up being a moot issue since it was finally determined that A10 was really the one who had played 3 quarters of the JV game.
Mr. Watson says, "If it is brought to our attention, we remove the player." However, in our state, we do not remove the player. We might point out to the coach that he/she is going to have a big problem (i.e. probably a forfeit) if he decides to play the offending player.
