If the coach interferes, then the batter is out no matter what by rule 7.11 since he is the one who the play is being made on. And, if it is intentional, he runs the risk of being ejected by the umpire depending on what he did.
That would be a dumb coach. A smart one lets the runner do it since his batter will be coming back up to hit again.
