Unless you have a local rule limiting the scope of the conference, you are misapplying the rule. You are using the same rule as for an injury trip to the mound. The coach can go say anything he wants to his runner.

You want to save the coach a charged trip when talking to his injured pitcher, so if it's for injury, he has to tell you he's checking on his pitcher. You then accompany the coach to the mound and listen to the conversation, making sure no strategy is being discussed, and that they are only addressing the injury and nothing else. If they start talking strategy, tell them to stop or you will charge a trip to the mound.

This same application is not to be used for offensive conferences, which can be about any subject, as can regular defensive conferences.
