I agree with your logic, but I'm not allowing anyone to untie a knot on the field. The first (and hopefully only time) I'll see it, I'm sending hime off the field and not delaying anything - he leaves.
If a coach were to complain, I'd give him the choice of fixing what I suggested he fix, or accepting the USC penalty I declined to levy. If it should happen a second time, with the same or a different player, I'd flag it.
If observed before a play starts, I'd simply send the player off and would not extend the RFP, if a replacement was not readily available the options are take a charged TO or risk a delay of game foul.
