b. A team repeatedly commits fouls for which penalties can be enforced only by halving the distance to its goal line.
c. An obviously unfair act not specifically covered by the rules occurs during the game. This includes substitutes, coaches, or any other persons subject to the rules, other than a player or official, interfering in any way with the ball or a player while the ball is in play.
PENALTY—Unsportsmanlike conduct. The referee may take any action they consider equitable, which includes assessing a Ten yard penalty from the succeeding spot and automatic first down, directing the down to be repeated, awarding a score, or suspending or forfeiting the game. [S24]
