Maybe a stretch, but it was a safety issue to me, and within (my interpretation of) the rules. Coach objected, but had her pitcher concentrate on location rather than speed, and no more HBPs.
Not only was that a stretch on your part, but it could have resulted in a protest due to misapplication of the rules.
