OK go ahead and slam me now for not following the letter of the law. I'm a big boy, I can take it!

In your case, the manager has no option. You made the only possible call, as the batter did not advance, and neither did any other runner for that matter. You awarded the batter 1st base, and that's all folks.
BTW, we have discussed this before, and like Tim just said, while you might want to help the coach out by giving him the options, it is not your place by rule to do so. The coach is supposed to inform you of his choice. The coaches need to know the rules at this level (HS), especially the ones that actually pertain to them.
