Just to show... not quite so easy...

ASA Rule 1
CHARGED CONFERENCE: When a team representative requests a suspension of play or delays the game for the purpose of delivering a message to another team member:

ASA Rule 5
Section 7. CONFERENCES.
B. Defensive Conference. There shall be only three charged conference(s) between the manager or other team representative from the dugout with any defensive player(s) in a seven inning game. For every inning beyond seven, there shall be one charged conference per inning between the manager or other team representative from the dugout with any defensive player(s).
EFFECT: The fourth, and each additional, charged conference in a seven inning game, or for any charged conference in excess of one per inning in an extra inning game, shall result in the removal of the pitcher from the pitching position for the remainder of the game. The removed pitcher can play another position on defense but cannot pitch again.

RS 9. CHARGED CONFERENCES.
A. Defensive. A defensive charged conference occurs when the defense requests a suspension of play for any reason, and a representative enters the playing field to communicate with any defensive player. Should a defensive player approach the dugout and receive instructions, this is considered a defensive conference. The umpire should advise a team representative when a defensive conference has been charged. A TEAM IS ALLOWED THREE CONFERENCES PER SEVEN INNINGS. They may use all three conferences in one inning or spread them out over a seven inning game. Once the three conferences have been used, the pitcher must be removed for each additional charged conference. In extra inning games, there will be one charged conference allowed in each extra inning. On the second conference in an extra inning of a game, the pitcher must be removed. If the pitcher returns to the pitching position after being removed and one pitch is thrown, the pitcher is disqualified.
OK, where does it back up this case play:
Quote:
PLAY 1-32
The manager requests a time out in the bottom of the fourth inning to confer with F1. Three batters later, in the same inning, the manager comes out of the dugout and (a) yells to F6 to switch positions with F1, or (b) informs the plate umpire on the way to the pitching area that F1 will assume another position. This action occurs prior to the manager’s discussion with any defensive player.
RULING: There is no charged conference in (a) or (b). If F1 is removed from the pitching position, that player can return to pitch later in the game. (1-CHARGED CONFERENCE; 5-7B)
