NFHS - The coach does not have a choice of the penalty or the play unless the batter does not hit the ball (fair or foul) or otherwise become a base runner.

6-2-2 EXCEPTION: If the pitcher completes the delivery of the ball to the batter and the batter hits the ball fair or foul, or becomes a base runner, the coach of the team at bat shall have the option of the result of the play or the penalty for an illegal pitch. A delayed dead ball will be signaled by the umpire by extending the left arm horizontally.
