Protested the Game

In Missouri the state allows protests, but the coach has 10 minutes to basically prove he is right once he decides to protest. He can use any official NFHS materials, and only misapplied rules can be protested.

Do you ask the timer to put 10 min on clock and start it?

And does he lose all of his timeouts after I prove him wrong?

Someone has to time it. It isn't clarified who is supposed to or how.

I wish. The satisfaction of being right would be enough for me though.

Arizona does not "officially" recognize protests, but they will listen to them.

Officials are advised to handle a valid (rule misinterpretation) protest in the usual way...ie, write the information in the scorebook, etc.

As far as I know, the only thing that even came close to being recognized was a situation in a state semi-final a few years ago.

It was a one point ball game with less than 10 seconds left. Team A, who was to inbound the ball, called a timeout. When the ball was put back in play, Team B had six players on the floor. The officials allowed the ball to be inbounded and the remainder of the game to be played with the six B players on the floor. Team A missed their last second shot and later demanded that a T be assessed and the game resumed from the end of the timeout. The state denied the request.
