Looks like NFHS agrees with ASA.
I think this entire discussion has gotten way out of hand in order to attempt to decide something that is basically common sense. Why would you let someone do something illegal, when you have the ability to stop them? Although some may feel that there is a thin line between 'coaching the coach' and 'preventative umpiring', I don't believe that informing the coach that they are attempting to do something illegal is outside our scope as impartial judges of the contest.
