OK, guys, time for some kind of resolution here.
"Common sense" says the BR is out for coach's assistance and that 2 runs score, since the BR could be appealed for the out.
But, the ASA rule on assisting a runner requires that the ball be live, so by the black-letter of the rule, there is no rule against a coach assisting a runner on an over the fence home run.
If I change the OP scenario slightly to have 2 outs before the play, then the answer matters A LOT!
So, which is it?
