OK, getting technical what if a player loses a mouthpiece and says "ref I need a new mouthpiece" after the RFP has been given? I would expect criticism of not following "common sense" if I made the team take a timeout. But I would technically be following the rules if I made a player to that. Would you agree?
I actually had this very situation come up last year and I simply stopped the game and allowed the player to go over to the sideline and someone threw him another one. I re-chopped and we resumed play. No one questioned it but I probably didn't follow the rules properly.
