Nor is there any NFHS rule that states that the official must retrieve a loose ball.

Directing a player to "take out your earrings" is over-stepping your authority, as is (arguably) directing a player to go get the ball.

So, instead of saying, "Go get the ball", we can say, "We can't play without that ball". Hopefully the players will get the idea, and if they don't, we can come back with, " I'm not getting that ball".
