Because he wanted to use his/her conference for something else? Who knows what these coaches think sometimes.
The rules state that when a catcher comes over to the dugout to get advice before going to the pitcher to talk to her, that this would be a defensive-charged conference. I don't see any difference between that and the runner relaying coaching advice to another runner.
