By rule the only choice left is a no-call.
I think the problem is that the defender definitely did violate the rule, but the penalty for the violation is too severe.

So you can do nothing, or you can give a lesser penalty.
If you're gonna issue a penalty for a rule that has been violated, I think you have to go with what the book says. I have a real problem with guys that think their smarter then the book. I also have a real problem with making a call that has no rulebook support for it. If you're gonna call it, then call it the way the book says to. Otherwise, I think you have to no-call it.
