Well, as ridiculous as it sounds, maybe you could get both coaches to sign some quickly drawn up waiver allowing the kid to play.
You should check with a local lawyer about the legality of that waiver. We checked about similar waivers, and were advised by a lawyer(who is also a member of our association) that a waiver drawn up like that was not legally applicable, and that we were still liable under our insurance. Iow, the waiver wasn't worth the paper it was written on.
And I suspect that a good lawyer could argue that by signing the waiver you were admitting to wrong-doing before the fact.

Bottom line: if a player fouls out he's got to go. If the coaches want to do otherwise then YOU should go. I do like Mark's suggestion of reassigning fouls but it might have been easiest if you kept track of who was in trouble and you could have "reassinged" B1's 5th as you were making your way over to the table.
