I had a "veteran" partner enforce this mythical rule last year. He would only let one of the five players on the court shoot the technical foul shots. I even went to him and tried to reason with him, but to no avail. The coach of the shooting team asked me about it and I didn't really know what to tell him. He knew the rule, I knew the rule, but my bonehead partner refused to admit that he may be wrong. I didn't really know what to tell the coach, so I just said "I guess we're playing it this way today". Thankfully he let it go.

Did you point him towards 8-3 at any point during halftime or after the game?

Yes. He sort of admitted he was wrong. Tried to play it off like I was "Reading too much into the rule", which is the same thing I've heard from several partners when they don't know a rule and I do.
