Doing plate last night. ASA rules. Coach visits pitcher for the second time and after talking to her awhile she changes pitchers (no injury by the way). I record this as a charged conference because the coach did not indicate a change until after she spoke to the pitcher (ASA 5-7-C-1). I turn to local UIC standing behind the cage and say "2nd charged conference in this situation, right?" He says no. Anytime pitcher is removed no conference is charged. I don't think this is right but I keep it to myself (he is the UIC after all). Game continues. Coach goes on to talk to and remove various pitchers 3 other times, each time with me not charging it (as per UIC).
Am I missing something? Fed 3-7-1 mentions no charged conference when pitcher is removed. But ASA seems to be clear about the coach informing the umpire before talking to any player. Is there a difference between the two organizations? Was my UIC right?
