BOO?

Why are we guessing anything? The facts are (1)The coach ONLY said that he was subbing for the FLEX. Nothing else. (2) The Flex batted between the #9 and # 1 position. (3) She was discovered between innings.

So - Why is everybody ignoring the written rule?

NFHS 2.57.2: An Illegal Substitute is (c) the FLEX who enters the game as a batter in a different position in the batting order than the DP.

3.3.6.6: Placing the FLEX into one of the first nine positions for someone other than the original DP is considered an illegal substitution. The illegal substitute shall be removed from the game and restricted to the bench.

RESULT: all play stands, player is restricted to bench. Need new FLEX. Simple!
