conferences

[shipwreck]

Most rule books state that if the defensive coach uses a charged conference, the offensive coach can talk to their player as long as they end it when the defensive charged conference ends and they won't be charged a conference. Flip it around and it is the same way. How about if say the catcher asks for time to talk to their pitcher. It is not a charged conference. Can the offensive coach talk to their player or players at this time and not be charged with an offensive conference? Everbody I ever work with says yes as long as they end it when the catcher and pitcher are done, so as not to delay the game. I cannot find any rule though to support this, either in ASA or NFHS. Can you help? Dave
