I agree with those who suggest ruling the ball dead and awarding bases if, in the umpire's judgement, the errant throw would have entered DBT had it not hit the base coach.
I believe in FED he is considered bench personnel not authorized to be in LBT. FED 3-3-1a.

(coach)JM,
Would you say that if this had been played pursuant to OBR...that this would have been "authorized person" (as defined by J/R) interference...and that it would not have been interference unless the defensive coach intentionally contacted the ball?
