Fuzzy. RS #9:
A defensive charged conference occurs when the defense requests a suspension of play for any reason...
Next sentence does state:
Should a defensive player approach the dugout and receive instructions, this is considered a defensive conference.

What's not clear to me is if the request for the suspension of play applies to the second sentence.

Mid-inning the sun pops thru the clouds and F9 requests time to get her sunglasses from the bench. F5 gets the glasses from the bench where the coach tells F5 to tell F9 to not play so deep. You gonna charge a conference for that?
