Definite misapplication of the rule. The rule speaks of intentionally removing the lines, not unintentionally getting dirt on them.

Again, misapplication of the rule. NFHS, she may be charged with delay if she is not ready within 20 seconds, and then a strike charged, but even then an warning should be issued first.

This guy sounds like a piece of work to me.
