I've been waiting a bit to jump into this to see how it would turn out. This is the obvious way it had to go. What a joke. Misapplied rule. Happens all the time. Unfortunate in this situation. The crew should go around the state next year and speak at all officials and coaching clinics about proper penalty enforcement.

Still, this should have been thrown out before it landed with the clerk.

And an easy attack for any rookie lawyer:

When the error happened, did you request a coach-referee conference to challenge the application of a rule? (No)
Were you aware of this rule? (No)
Do you agree this would have been an effective way to address the situation at the time? (Yes)
After the error, was your team allowed to compete in the remaining 64 seconds? (Yes)
Did those plays have an outcome in the game? (No because we didn't score)
So had you of scored on one of those plays, this erroneous play would not matter? (True)
So were there plays before the erroneous one that mattered? (Yes, of course)
Were any mistakes made on one of those? (Well, maybe, yes)
Should the other team be able to sue for those mistakes? (Uh ...)
What about previous games this year, were mistakes made both for and against you? (Well, yes, maybe, likely)
So if every play from every game goes to court and you expect perfection from the officials on every play, are you willing to pay them the same rate you are paying lawyers right now? (An average high school game might be $750 per official).

Oklahoma plays under NFHS rules, which state:

1-1-6: The referees decisions are final in all maters pertaining to the game.
1-1-11: Protests of NFHS rules are not recognized

The. End.

End of thread.

Note to players/coaches on sidelines: STAY OFF THE FUCKING FIELD.
