In this situation, the batter has a habit of swinging his bat (practicing) while still in the batter's box after every pitch. This time however, just by chance, his swing takes place as the catcher is throwing the ball back to the pitcher. The ball is drilled into left centerfield. Runner on 3rd comes home to score. Do you let the run stand?

You're kidding, right?

I posed this situation to my non-umpire wife and she had the same response: "You're kidding, right?"
I bet there are coaches that would, with a straight face, want the run to count.

Toss 'em both for conduct unbecoming of my sanity.
