Your post described everything going through my and my partners mind. I did go to the pitchers' coach and tell him how close she was. He responded by saying "she won"t listen to me" and said I should tell her.

Just to take this away from the IP discussion for a moment, it sounds to me like this coach is giving you the green light to call the IP on his pitcher. It sounds like he has given up trying to correct it and she's not getting called for it.
I had a similar situation at a tournament recently. I made an interference call on a baserunner that took a path designed to make the fielder change her path to the ball. No contact, but the fielder reacted to the presence of the runner. After the game, the coach of the team that was called for interference thanked me for making that call, because it reinforced what he was trying to teach his players about baserunning.
