Mike - having read your responses with great interest, I am curious as to how ASA specifically wants us to deal with this situation. Do they agree with NCAA or with your previous remarks regarding substituting as the next batter due up and therefor no BOO, but yes to illegal player (BTW this was my first thought). Your pipeline to those in command is always welcome and appreciated.

Don't know about NCAA, but ASA is very specific about the status of FLEX entering "out of order"... unless the umpire has been notified that she is entering for the DP, she is an illegal player by rule. The umpire does not assume she is entering for the proper player out of order.
