I did read the case book play. The reference to 5-7-B is a little open to interpretation. RS #9 is much clearer, IMO.
If F1 has the ball in the circle, and F2, without requesting time, simply runs over to the closest part of the dugout to ask the coach something, is it a charged conference? There would be no violation of the pitcher's 20-second rule.
