I agree with the DOG foul, and your rules support is 3-6-2-f "any other conduct which unduly prolongs the game." His calling the TO and the official granting it and stopping the clock when they were out of TO's and the time was a factor is the issue.

The "breaking the huddle with 12" issue is something you are going to have to discuss with your R so he understands the rule. I would suggest you show him "additional example #2" in The Redding Study Guide. If you don't have it, here is the play.
"Team A huddles with nine players. Three substitutes enter the huddle which almost immediately breaks with 12 players. A45 runs to his sideline and leaves the field just before the snap. RULING Legal. It is not a foul to break a huddle with 12 players unless deception is involved or a replaced player fails to leave immediately.
