I called out. Coach upset because she thought the orange base is only for the runner, and after much discussion we come to find out that this is not the case.
Any other questions? Done being confused about being confused? (can that be done?)

One more point. The coach has not taken their ACE certification, otherwise coach would not be arguing this at all.
I know this is not an umpire question/concern, BUT...if all the commissioners/JO commissioners were to require their coaches to obtain their ACE certification, we wouldn't have coaches asking about this. I can guarangoddamtee you this coach has not taken ACE, probably not this year or any prior year.
And, if they attended our in person sessions held by JO commissioner with invited guests, like we do in Seattle where we do everything right
they also wouldn't be asking stupid questions about DP/Flex. They might be asking SMART questions about it, and that's ok.
(Smart question being, "Can I list a DP and a Flex on my original lineup card and then drop the Flex right after I give you my lineup card?" I wanted to hug her! She got it!)
