That would be classy and maybe make the AD and HC look like a$$es. Maybe everyone would learn an important lesson.
Not saying it is the right thing to do but a third option. Thoughts?

Not as an official. But when I coached high school there was a game where the officials called one of the worst technical fouls I had and still have witnessed. I told the officials I didn't care and they didn't have to penalize. It had something to do with a stupid uniform rule.
I told my shooter to miss the shots. I had to give the kids a lesson on honor and integrity after that game as they were all whining about that decision of mine. We lost the game by 4.
