This is exactly the spot the OHSAA found themselves stuck in.

They wrote the regulation not expecting a member institution would find a way to work around the intent. (one of the teams had finished their season some 11 days prior) Instead of ending up in court, they voiced their displeasure with the school and will be rewriting the regulation to put a stop to this......

...until someone else comes along and finds a way around it.

FWIW, the coach and umpire were sanctioned for their comments to the media.
