David,
You seem to love to place yourself above the fray and argue on behalf of the poor unwashed all the while claiming to be a part of the intelligentsia who have been blessed with special understanding.
I am the opposite.
It ain't that complicated. Lots of people have made it sound such with their eye-rolling ga ga reactions and their complicated explanations of the rule.
Nonetheless, it ain't that complicated.
Coaches may choose to learn or ignore the rule, much like they choose to learn or ignore or operate in ignorant belief about a lot of other rules. That doesn't make it a complicated rule that is beyond the intellect of your average coach.
I can't help how coaches apply their time or their brain-power.
However, I can actively refute those who continue to claim this rule is too complex for the average ball player who scores 800 on some section of the SAT or who is a MENSA member or who forgets to match his socks before he leaves home in the morning.
Here it is:
Remember what happens when the DP plays defense for FLEX.
Remember what happens when the FLEX bats.
Remember that all other substitution rules, batting order rules, re-entry rules continue to apply.
There ya go.
