Couple of points on the OP situation.
1) The ball was dead due to the overthrow (and also the coach / umpire conference). The runner cannot be declared out for entering the dugout during a dead ball.
2) The coach ordering his runner into the dugout is pulling his player off the field. If he refuses to put her back on the field, he is refusing to resume the game.
Take your choice on the reason for the forfeit option: 4-3-1 b,c,d.
I truly don't understand the rationale of wanting to allow the coach to use some ruse to continue a game that is, by rule, completed.
