That's not correct. The penalties specified for violating G15 include a potential red or yellow card for repeated or egregious violations. Without speaking to the specific scenario you described, a violation of G15 that was bad enough could result in a red card on the first offense. Also, 5.5.4 allows the head ref to issue red or yellow cards for egregious actions that violate the mission of FIRST but aren't captured in other rules.
