PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.

NFHS Rule 3 Sec 2 Art. 2 . . . No coach shall physically assist a runner during playing action.
PENALTY: The ball is dead at the end of playing action. The involved batter-runner or runner is out and any additional outs made on the play stand. Runners not put out return to bases occupied at the time of the infraction.
BRD has PBUC reference that the ball remains live for both outs and advances. WUM mentions that the ball is left in play. NCAA is the same.
