That's when we ask WTF do you mean coach? NEVER accept this sort of statement from a coach, always get more clarity to make sure you record the change correctly and sometimes that they know what they are doing correctly!

Blue: Coach let me get my lineup out here what do you want to do?
Coach: I want my DP & FLEX to swap positions
Blue: So you want your FLEX to bat for your DP, or your DP to play Defense for your FLEX?

Those are the only two possible things a coach can legally do with the FLEX/DP so make sure you have perfect clarity on which they want, and if necessary be ready to explain what that change does to their ability to re-enter later.

Continue from above
Coach: I want my FLEX to bat for my DP
Blue: Ok so the DP has left the game but still has her one reentry (as you are marking your lineup card) and the FLEX is up here (drawing an arrow up for the FLEX to bat in the DP spot) batting for the DP, ok no problem coach

By saying that while the coach is next to you it lets it sink in to him/her that the DP has left the game and can only re-enter once.
