Well, then, as a coach, I'd guess I'd be respectfully asking the assigned referees, what other rules we'd be suspending that game, so I could inform my players.

How is this suspending the rules? Do you have any ruling that suggests otherwise? Do you have something in the casebook that makes it clear how to interpret this situation? If you do not, then the Referee has the right to rule anyway they see fit without a specific reference to this play. I know if someone spells a name wrong and switches around some letters by mistake, I am not going to T up the team because I see the name on the back of the jersey is spelled differently. You can only have one of these numbers. It is not in the spirit of the rules to give a T when someone clearly made a mistake. If you think that is bad, then I guess we should T up every coach that step a foot outside of the coaching box no matter what. This to me is the very same thing.

Peace
