The HC is 4 ft inside the chalk line and sees everything happening and yells at F1 to throw to 3rd and he does.

You really think both offense and defense are not going to notice/react to a coach running out and standing in the middle of the infield, pointing and yelling orders, while runners are circling the bases?
You may argue that the 'effect' was equal on both sides, or there was no 'advantage gained' or whatever, but I don't know how to argue that there would be no reaction by the players whatsoever.
Do coaches run out onto your fields during live action so often that it's blase?
