Just to clarify that it is not a defensive conference if a defensive player approaches the dug out and receives instructions. The change this year though does not allow the team representative to have any verbal comments with any defensive player before they inform the umpire that they will be changing the pitcher. If they don't do this in the correct order it will be a charged conference.

Ed,
Your first sentence is misleading. If play is stopped for a defensive player to approach the dugout for instruction from someone in the dugout, it is a charged conference. (ASA 5.7.B)
