This isn't so much an issue regarding the DP/Flex rules as it is the handling of a player who is listed in the line-up but is not present. I couldn't find anything in the NFHS rule book or case book that states a player must be present at the game site to be listed.
I guess the coach was trying to circumvent the need to list the missing player as a substitute and have someone else listed as the starter. Putting the missing player into the line-up when she arrived after the game started would require a substitution that, I suppose, he didn't want to burn. I dunno.
