Reply to "Pitcher DH-ing for himself"

The college DH is the most convoluted rule ever written. The rule covers three or four pages to explain all the what ifs.
I got a call earlier this year to rule on a situation that came up in a local college game. They had a standard ten man line-up with the DH hitting for the pitcher. At one point they brought the DH in to pitch, dropping to a nine man line-up. Then they brought in another pitcher and returned the DH back to the hitting position, returning to a ten man line-up. I ruled that it was correct. The DH is elliminated if he moves to a defensive position, NCAA doesn't consider pitching as a defensive position.
