How would you handle this?

I was asked this and thought I would have the board weigh in on the matter.

Girls Varsity NFHS game. 4th QTR. Team A has increased their lead to 15 points and Team B calls a time out. Team B comes out of the time out and B1 begins man to man coverage on one of the officials. This continues for 3 trips down the court - 4 girls guarding 5 girls and one girl doing close man to man coverage on the referee.

The implication was that the referee was a member of Team A and needed to be guarded.

Do you ignore?
Do you T the girl?
Do you T the coach?
Do you forfeit?
Do you send letters?

Thanks for your responses.

It should never last that long. T the girl as soon as you realize what she's doing. I'd consider a flagrant T on the coach, since you know the player is doing this under her coach's orders.
