Your R is crazy. Your final thought is correct.

Granted at this point there's no NFHS rules concerning this.

Three things:
1. I never said that I would forfeit the game. I said that I would suspend the contest and file a report. I can make an educated guess that the state office woud forfeit the game.
2. If the HC doesn't comply just pin the FTF on one of the three individuals that you believe said it. Afterall it is your decision who you believe is the culprit as the official is the arbiter of facts for the game. Then make sure to put it all in the report.
3. Yeah, it's not definitely covered, so 2-3 could be used to justify any reasonable decision.
