Yes. But only if the infraction is discovered while the player is participating. There is not penalty if the infraction is discovered when the player is not participating.

More importantly, why would we (the Game Officials) enforce such a rule if there was no OhioHSAA documentation of such a rule.

This is how it is worded in the current OHSAA Basketball Manual. FWIW, I contacted our OHSAA Director of Basketball Officials last year regarding if the player had to be participating at the time of the violation for the penalty to be enforced and he said "no." Also, there is no indirect assessed to the coach in case anyone is interested.

Quarters Permitted & Penalty for Violation
Any player is not permitted to participate in MORE than FIVE quarters during any one day. Any part of a quarter is considered a full quarter. Any
overtime is considered an extension of the fourth quarter. Players are permitted a total of 110 quarters (high school) or 64 quarters (Junior High)
for the season plus any played in post-season tournament play.
Penalty for Violating Quarters/Day:
If detected DURING a contest: team shall be assessed a technical foul by the official and the player shall be disqualified from
the game. All quarters shall be counted toward his/her maximum allowed for the season.
If detected AFTER a contest: All quarters shall be counted toward his/her maximum allowed for the season. There is no further
penalty or suspension.
