You call a dead ball, the coach says it was a dead ball and your partner says it was a dead ball. All of you are Right. ITS A DEAD BALL. I agree , not because it hit the ground but, it was a dead ball.

I think you misunderstood the OP. It seems to me that the coach was arguing that the ball should have been dead the moment it contacted the ground, so it was no longer a pitch and the batter should not be awarded 1B (i.e. not HBP).
