You are empowered as an arbiter to give the offending coach a respectful but thorough scolding keeping in mind that he, too, could have made a mistake.

I believe a protest was upheld a couple of years back because the game balls weren't legal in New York State FED. I don't know all the details. I have seen baseballs in catalogs that are stamped with a NY FED insignia.
