I guess the coach was trying to circumvent the need to list the missing player as a substitute and have someone else listed as the starter. Putting the missing player into the line-up when she arrived after the game started would require a substitution that, I suppose, he didn't want to burn. I dunno.
Well you may need that too... but it was this I was referring to:

"Well, if you're going to have a DP/Flex, I don't think you can start the game with your DP playing defense for the Flex because that removes the Flex from the lineup, and you really end up having nine starters, not ten."
It's important not to use "I think" with a coach, but it's just as important to actually KNOW what he can and can't do with the DP/Flex.
