Don't send the RB off! The coach will be screaming!!
Our place on the field is to have as little influence as possible on the outcome. Yes, the rule says, but do you really want to officiate by the rulebook!?
After 25 or so seconds tell him he can call a timeout if they have one available. Then the decision falls to the team, not you.

I think I did use finesee.... If you read my post I gave them 25 seconds
or so to correct the problem... then I gave them the option of calling the time out or leaving the field... I even led the statement with the time-out so they could keep the player if they want. I gave them the choice.
