We got to discuss this very same thing with Merle Butler at a clinic this past weekend. (Buddah do you remember?)
7-A-E Should read being assisted. I seem to remember a thread, or maybe just a post about that sometime last summer.
Now, when anyone other than another runner....that runner is out. Once a runner is put out, s/he is no longer a runner, thus the put-out (ex)runner becomes anyone other than another runner, and by assisting will cause runner to be out!
Or simply to answer last question, no.
