Right. But if the client petitions the city for a variance to the design codes, and the variance is granted, then the engineer can design such a building.
So, it would have been "wrong" for the officials to restrict the coach from using this play, it's allowed for the league to restrict it and for the officials to then enforce the league directive.

If what the client wants is in violation of design codes that have to do with the structural safety of the building the city can grant all of the variances it want to the code but no structural engineer will make the changes per the client's request.
