Illegal or not?? Please Help!!

Need your help with this…….
During the first game of District Tournament, Team A put a coach (who had been fired a few weeks earlier and also happens to be the husband of the now head coach. ) at the top of the stands with a cell phone, to call down to a coach on Team A’s bench, who was wearing a hidden bluetooth headset. The fired coach in the bleachers called all of the plays, where Team B’s gaps were, who to double team, who was dropping down on defense, and how to run the offense on Team B’s defensive holes.
They won the game and were caught at the end and turned by the officials who were refereeing the next game. In disputing this, Team B was told there was nothing illegal done and that they (Team B) could have done the same thing because NFHS approved the use of electronic devices for basketball. The head coach of Team was fired that night due to her actions of using wireless communication. This happened in Kentucky by the way, and KHSAA said that nothing can be done. Does anybody on this forum know the rules on this??? It’s a shame that Team B was put at such a competitive disadvantage and not allowed to advance.
All coaches involved admitted what they had done to the Board of Control, as well as KHSAA.
