Speaking from a coaches perspective
It's too obscure, I wouldn't chance it that the umpire would call it right.
If judges can legislate from the bench, I'm guessing more Umpires than not would choose to penalize a coach who got cute trying to manipulate the rule.
As for the guy who said earlier that the offensive coaches would start sending their runners as soon as they see an IP if they changed the rule. I'll list below all the coaches that would be willing to risk a baserunner on the chance that an IP is an automatic call.
List starts ....
List ends ....
(don't ban me, I ump some games too!)
