The game is for the kids, and the gamesmanship by the coaches and whatnot should not have any part of the outcome. Let the game be decided on the floor, and not by an oversite by a manager or coach.
I realize that nobody here will like this solution, since it does not in any way follow the book. But then again, when you get to the major tournaments, the officials are instructed not to worry with the book. Wonder why? Hmmmm..
Blast away, oh protectors of the written word.

I'll just say

BTW, I've never been told to ignore book mistakes in any tournament that I've ever officiaited in. They may tell them that in the NCAA tournament but I don't see it happening in high school.
