Would a strike be called on the batter if the coach is taking out lines.

According to the NFHS website, from one of their situations:
SITUATION 10: In the top of the first inning, the lead-off batter for the visiting team starts kicking out the front line of the batters box as she enters the box. The umpire calls time and issues a strike on the batter. The umpire also issues a team warning to the offending head coach. Four innings later, the base umpire notices the first base coach on the visiting team removing the lines of the coachs box. RULING: The base umpire shall call time and restrict the head coach to the dugout for the remainder of the game. Also, the plate umpire shall issue a strike on the batter. (3-6-17)
