I haven't done MS games in a while, but what is wrong with stopping the game, getting both coaches and having a little review of the "fall back" rule. If they don't understand, help them understand.
In a JHS Game (girls), we simply blow the whistle and have the team inbound the ball again. At that age level, it may happen several times during the game. After both teams have played six games, they are permitted to press during the second half. What a disaster!

Our Girl's Association, has also made a point of NOT enforcing the no man-to-man (even though it's girls) rule. If there is a problem we are simply told to have the coaches work it out.

Why do I still do JHS? I have to admit, that I enjoy helping the kids learn the game (preventative officiating, explaining violations, and never coaching them).
