No, it just takes the form of a parent complaining to the Board, then someone from the Board calling the refs and some of the other parents, then reporting back to a meeting of the Board as to what happened (after speaking with the coach, of course). I don't think it's ever gone beyond just a subsequent call to the coach to remind him or her of the rule. In all those years, I can't remember it happening twice with the same coach. Almost without exception, the coaches are parents and the kids on their team usually (but not always, since they can attend different schools) know each other so it's a pretty friendly situation.
