I emailed this question and the follwing debate to a friend and he responded with this:
Quote:

It's a tie game and a slow catcher leads off the bottom of the last with a double. There (sic) coach requests time and yells for a courtesy runner. The defensive team requests a conference at the same time. The catcher jogs by the coach who congratulates him with some kind words. The stadium and dugout is going crazy. The defensive coach concludes his trip to the mound and you signal the ball back in. The first pitch is roped and the runner scores. As the defensive team slinks off the field there (sic) head coach notices that the runner had already been a courtesy runner for the pitcher.

According to him, this play happened last year in a playoff game he worked.
Do you eject the coach?
