Technically, the batter should ask for TIME before making this change (ASA Rule 7-3C). However, ASA emphasizes that the reason for 7-3C is to speed up the game, not penalize the youth player (POE 5). Therefore, unless this became a drag on the game, or unless it was late in the game and I judged that the coach was doing this to intentionally delay, the most I would do is warn the batter to ask for TIME next time.
