This rule + camps with HS coaches = Complaining. It's going to happen, more so with BV coaches. GV coaches, presumably, watch/pay attention to NCAAW basketball so they're very aware of how strictly the guidelines were enforced. The best answer I hear from clinicians is, "Coach, this is what's going to happen in the regular season. Consider yourself lucky. You get a chance to work out any issues now."
I dealt with it on the GV level in NYC this past season due to the code differences between boys & girls. How those games went depended on my partner. If they also worked NCAAW it was easy. We pretty much used it as practice. If the other person didn't work NCAAW they needed a little prodding. As long as I kept up with it they were pretty much forced to follow along.
I only had one issue with a coach and that was in a Christmas tourney where the visitors were from NJ. That coach kept complaining about "touch fouls" and his "kids would all foul out." Ironically, the home team had three players foul out. His team only lost one.
