A coach who actually understands DP/FLEX!

My bad.

Instead of just saying, "No, my DP is playing defense for another player", the guy gets all beligerant and starts ranting that this is a legal move and he's going to get his rule book out and show me I'm wrong!

I kind of put up the stop sign and said, "Whoa, calm down. Your DP can play defense for a player other than the FLEX. No problem." And on we went...

I am hoping by your saying "my bad" in this post you ARE aware that the DP can play defense for the FLEX, and that it is only treated as a substitution.
