1) You don't need to stop them.
2) Is totally allowable by rule for a coach to show a player on the bench a video scene of the game for coaching purposes. The prohibition is for trying to show that to a player who is on the floor, or, of course, to an official to dispute a call.
COMMENT for new 10.1.3B: "Electronic devices may be used on the player bench for coaching and statistical purposes only. Video may not be used to review an official's decision."
This same point is stated and illustrated in the NFHS PowerPoint also, though not as clear as it could be, perhaps.
Heck, they can have Cecil B. DeMille as a coach and do all the movie review on the bench they want to. And that really won't matter to us at all.
