As Mike mentions, that isn't illegal in ASA; but you will have cost your DP her re-entry rights to accomplish a courtesy runner. Maybe that makes sense to some coaches.

I though everyone adopted the same flex rule, or is ASA different because they were first with DEFO.
Also, my current understanding is that ITB is not "earning your way on base" even though it defeats the purpose of the rule, so I'd like to know if that's wrong.
