If he repeats, it isn't a G-d rule; he may not do what you specifically directed him not to do. And, before you ask, yes, you may direct anything you deem to be in the spirit (and intent) of the rules.

Covers everything in the OP, shows good game management, works around the issue that ASA 6.6.A. makes no mention of other team personnel.
