telephone pole

Worked a high school game the other day and this q came up. Tall telephone poles were located inside the field, but butted up against the outfield fence, all in fair territory. During ground rule discussion at plate meeting, coach said that some umpires say that if a ball hits the pole (no matter how high it hits it), it's in play and not a home run.
Is there some ground rule that says anything like that?
