Why is it your problem now? There are NFHS rules for dealing with a batter who steps in the box with an illegal bat and for dealing with the HC. The rule enforcement has not changed.

The coaches get the same info we get, maybe more. If a player steps in with an illegal bat, he's cheating. Take care of cheaters.
