Steven, his conversation took place immediately after the discussion with my partner and me. He didn't request time just to talk to his batter.
As to live/dead - I made it live w/o the batter. Right/wrong, I don't know for sure. I know that you can call the strike if the batter is delayhing the game. I'm also sure that (in OBR) if he is delaying you can put the ball in play and have F1 deliver a pitch. I had both rule sets (FED and OBR) banging in my head and just reacted with a little of both I guess. Again, I may not have been 100% correct in the penalty, but as stated above, I got my point across.
I do agree that if he had simply called, rather requested, time to converse with the batter, your scenario would be more suited.
The coach was delaying on purpose after the "arguement," I knew it, he knew it.
