Speaking ASA, anyone other than the BR being put out is irrelevant to the play. That out would remain.

In the other scenario where you have a runner on 1B, then you signal CO (delayed dead ball), call the B-R out (preventative umpiring to keep her from running to 1B), and wait for action to end. Then, because B-R did not reach 1B, you go to the coach.
Once you call the BR out, by rule, the ball is dead and the play has ended. Any subsequent action is nullified
