One of the biggest issues is that people who don't understand it or want to take it farther than what the actual rule allows, *******ize the rule to suite themselves.

To help prevent this, a few years ago I gave the coaches at a national a quick clinic on the DP/Flex. Had a coach from Ohio who insisted that he is allowed to have two Flex players. I explained the rule again and told him that it is one Flex and one DP. Coach insisted that at the state tournament in OH at which he team qualified allowed him two. I was sort of hoping he had ASA confused with another assn., but told him the rule is clear and showed him the rule in the book. He was really confused because his whole season, he used two and now "I" was changing the rule.

Go figure.
