Why not just simply invoke the penalty of removing the pitcher on the 2nd defensive conference?

1) Because, as others have stated, that isn't the NCAA rule.

2) It isn't the rule because the COACHES write the NCAA rule book.

3) It is the coach's mistake to hold a second charged conference, not the player's mistake to stand there and get yelled at.

4) There has to be some penalty.

5) Even the NCAA head coaches know they are often more expendable for their mistake of having a second conference than their pitcher.

That rule makes more sense than removing the pitcher, IMO, even though it is less traditional.
