I believe you are refering to Pontiac High School's head football coach. The player who was "recruited" was permanently banned from playing any sports for Pontiac High School.

If Ohio operates like Illinois, the by-laws are made by the member schools of the assocation. The State Association is only responsbible for enforcing the by-laws created by member schools. Schools in that area must have wanted to prevent players from benefiting monatarily from their athletic fame. It may have been harsh, but is also may have been a "by-the-book" penalty. I'm on the fence on this one.

No Mike, I am refering to the Quincy High Basketball Coach, that got busted for recruiting a Pittsfield player. Not exactly the same issue as Lebron had in Ohio, but there are many cases were the rules were clear and the IHSA suspended coaches and players for their actions. The IHSA this year has even suspended players for violations and they were not reinstated by the courts. As I stated, this Judge did this to make everyone happy, not to adhere to the rules of Ohio.
