Here's what i would use in considering my course of action-
1) is the coach a jerk and known for this type of behavior?
2) did the ump catch it and talk to the coach? If so did the coach argue?
3) was it a tight game and an obvious intent to put the faster runner on second?
If the answer to these questions are all yes, then EJ. If there's any doubt, just correct the mistake.

(1) Don't know...I've never umpired a game with this coach, as this was a team from another part of the state playing at a local school we normally provide services for.
(2) Umpire caught it after one pitch, and he did talk to the coach. Coached argued only that it was an "accident"...he did not argue that they should be on first and second.
(3) Yes it was tight. I know nothing of the runners' speed.
Oh, by the way, the umpire involved returned the runners, restricted the coach to the dugout, and let the one pitch (called "strike") stand.
