I disagree, Matt. If:

1) Coach goes out and replaces pitcher

2) Coach leaves

3) Coach returns (before or during the first batter)

Then, this is just the first visit to the new pitcher, and is allowed under OBR and NCAA.

Apprently, by the way the visiting coach reacted, it would have meant he had to replace him...???

Maybe the coach was mad only because it would have been the first visit, but if the batter got on base, then the visit would restrict the defensive coach's options for later in the inning (no "free" visit left).
