If the AC does nothing then call over the TD and UIC (in Socal ASA only the TD can Forfeit a game) tell them what happened and let them decide. In either case the game is over (however, this should not matter to us). Most ASA Commissioners I know would not go for this crap by a coach and would most like forfeit the game.

Wait, wait, wait... What?! Only the TD can forfeit a game?! That's horsespit.

Look, in 17 years, I've only forfeited games for only one reason: not having enough players. So I'm not "quick to the trigger." But I'll be damned if someone is going to take away a perfectly legitimate tool in my toolbag.

What on earth is their rationale?
