I'm not quite sure how to answer because we do not sign any contracts to officiate sports in Massachusetts high schools.
If everyone understood that the contract was binding, I would have told the AD that you would be glad to take the HS playoff game if it becomes available (by the other referee releasinhg her from the contract). It would be up to her to handle how to get out of it.

I gotta wonder if there's something else going on here. I agree that it's the school's issue. Maybe they didn't like some of his calls, or feel they lost a game because of him. I also agree about signing a first year ref to a championship tourney at the beginning of the tourney. There may be more to the story than we're getting.
