Thanks all. Caught me by surprise. Told coach we'd be making the move in early January as a courtesy heads up. Said he's still sending the contract, which now makes sense due to the "restriction."

Additionally he's only made the comment about it being "illegal" to the kids, hasn't addressed the parents.
