TY for helping ...
Yes I would just rule it the way the Floor did: We let the hand roll, we don't penalize the SB but the BB! I'm even more on the side of this floor who gave 3 rounds! I understand your opinion about the progressing penalties but for me here the fault of the BB is very serious. Not only he broke the traditional etiquette of "one hand one player" and influenced the SB in his decision but the result may be the elimination of a player! So I would give him a minimum of 1 round penalty!
In my tournament I apply the rules normally BUT when the consequences may be the elimination of a player I allways do the maximum to keep the player in the tourney, using if necessary the rule #1! OK it was not possible here but I use to say "I DON'T WANT A PLAYER TO BUST FROM MY TOURNAMENTS ON OBVIOUS ERRORS OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS!" ... and my players appreciate this ... even if the decision is against them: They know some day I may save them too!
Read me correctly: I try ... But can't allways save them ... Like in this case ...

Another point: I didn't liked here the fact the BB spoke OOT and influenced the SB but I respect the fact that SB spoke! Many casinos think that the TDA don't want anybody to speak if 3 or more in the hand !? Here I'm a traditionalist (on the side of Daniel Negreanu for once lol) and like to let the players speak because this is an interesting part of poker! ... IF ... IF they stay in the limit of NO COLLUSION and NO DISCLOSURE OF THEIR HAND and if only the player in turn to play and the last raiser speak!
May God help you understand my poor English!
