I agree with WMB and greymule here, DTTB. I've always believed the rule was there to prevent delay. While it does not really stop the F2 - runner stuff, it does put a stop to it once F1 has the ball - the runner has to either attempt to advance or give up immediately.
As to the original situation, I would not call that runner out for the reasons already stated.
Regarding the statement in POE33 on runners moving toward a base etc., I was just looking to spark some conversation about that sentence and how everyone applies/ignores it, since it does seem contradictory.
WMB, I'd be interested in how you plan to address this in your class.
