Now apply the definition to the rule. A defensive conference is between a team representative
from the dugout with any defensive player.
An offensive conference is between a team rep (mgr/coach/scorekeeper/dad, whatever) and a batter, runner or another team rep. These are limited to one per inning.
So, I don't believe a catcher talking to the pitcher is a conference as it would pertain to rule 5.7, therefore there should be no exception for the offensive staff.
