When I went to the pre-game conference here's what happens:

Home coach me: "I cannot believe you would call that against my player"
Me to home coach: "Coach, I did not have a choice, it was clear dunk"
Home coach to me: "But you can't call that,...it's Senior Night!"
Me to home coach: "Coach, I'll check my rule book at halftime, but I don't think there are any provisions in there making this legal on senior night"

Is this something I missed in the case book?
Yeah, you missed the part where the officials are supposed to set aside rules to protect the players from their own stupidity.
