			As was stated, except for the way the lineup card is filled out, the DP can be used exactly like a DH in practice.
 DP = player you would have called the DH.  Put her where you want her in the lineup.
 
 FLEX = your pitcher.  Put her in the #10 spot.
 
 Then, DP always bats and FLEX always pitches.
 
 Just like DH.
 
 Simple.
 
 Answer to the coach's question is, "Yes, coach, but you have to call your DH a DP and you have to list your pitcher in the #10 spot in the order and call her the FLEX. Everything else can be done identically to the way you used to coach with a DH."
