I don't think the coach actually broke the rule, he just took it to his advantage per the language in the rule.
The rule could be reworded to say, "except for teams in the playoffs"
In states like Ohio, it doesn't sound like a bad idea for teams who played fewer games [not in the playoffs] to get a chance for some make-up games when the weather improves while the playoffs are in progress.
Even gives the umps a chance to make up some of the extra fees they lost due to weather.
Coach was wrong in my opinion for disrespecting the official big time though.
