A. If the FLEX bats for the DP, the DP is gone, with one re-entry left. The lineup now has 9 players on it.
B. If the DP plays defense for the FLEX, the Flex has been subbed for. She has one re-entry left. The lineup has 9 players on it.
In either case the coach cannot sub for both players at the same time. Since one has left the game in both instances, there is only one player left to sub for. Now, what can happen is the coach lets the DP play for the FLEX, then reinstate the FLEX and sub for both players. The same thing for A. The Flex can bat for the DP, the DP left the game. The coach can then sub for both players, meaning he is also reinstating the DP and going back to 10.
The easiest way to remember it (and probably a little too simplistic ) you don't have to worry about any defensive changes between DP, FLEX and other players UNLESS THE DP PLAYS DEFENSE FOR THE FLEX OR THE FLEX BATS FOR THE DP
These are the only 2 instances where you have any changes in the lineup and you have to worry about it, as far as the DP/FLEX goes.
