Can't do it, Snakester. You have ONE official - NOT the Referee - who opened his yap out of order, and a coach who didn't know the rules. So the referee straightens him out, he's unhappy and you move on. So now you have ONE coach who has lost faith in ONE official.
If you have a do-over as you suggest, you will be giving the Royal Screw to the coach who knew his stuff. And he will lose faith in YOU, the REFEREE, and your entire crew, not just the one official, for screwing up and screwing him. Furthermore you will be providing an unfair advantage to the first coach and his team. You go to him and waffle about how sorry you are that it happened and, oh, it'll be okay because we're going to have a do-over. Once he realizes your lack of command of the game he too will lose faith in YOU, the REFEREE, and your entire crew, not just the one official.
So, you have positive rule coverage for what happened, you have no basis for a do-over, and you have TWO coaches who have lost faith in the ENTIRE CREW.
Can't do it.
