Let us assume that this is a regular season game during the Spring. As far as the OhioHSAA (or MichiganHSAA) is concerned once the HC is ejected he is ejected for the day. There is nothing that the Official/Umpire can do to change that. Furthermore, the Official/Umpire must file a Game Report and the ejection will stand but the Official/Umpire will no doubt have to face the music for screwing up the Ruling.
