Bob, good points...my guess is the court will also look at the school voluntarily joining the state association. Another consideration may be whether the association has the flexibility to not schedule any tourney games on a certain day each week (between the last day of the regular season to the state finals). Can (should) the season be shortened by a day or days to allow the association to not schedlule tourney games on a certain day each week?
Personally, I think it'll likely be concluded as too overly burdensome to accommodate the request, giving the time constraints of when the tourney must be played, potential advantage/disadvantage of the change, and difficulty of rescheduling at the last minute.
