Interesting Scenario

[jeffpea]

After the 2nd or 3rd violation (or at least when I determine that the violations are purposely design to achieve the outcome you describe), I tell the coach and the players that the next violation will be a T. This falls under the "making a travesty/mockery of the game" category in my book (of course that's not the rule book term, just my term). The official certainly has the ability to rule on points not covered in the rule book - this would be one of them.
