Your post is a great example of why officials (of all levels of experience) need to consistently review the rule book, case book, and official's manual. Keep in mind that the premise of the rule book is: unless there is a specific rule that prohibits the action it is legal.
Recently, I was working a Jr. High Tourney and a coach "informed me" that #32 of the opposing team was chewing gum. I understood his concern for her safety, but which rule do you cite to justify the official's authority to have the player remove the gum?
