This is what you get when you change a play from it's original presentation (though on another board).

This is why a ball being put in play should always come through the umpire.

Given this case where (unposted) the base coach supplies a new ball, no, I would not. They make stupid rules, they live with stupid play.

If I (the umpire) am handling the task of putting the new ball into play, yes, I would kill it since I must now perform an umpire duty not related to the calling of a play.
