Not really. But there's nothing in the rule that suggests the plate umpire is to inform a head coach when he/she wants to enter someone who isn't allowed to be entered in that spot. We're instructed to use preventive umpiring then despite the lack of language in the rule, so I was just asking if the same is true under the OP scenario.
