I'm with Rick on this one. I've got an out. The runner's protection was to second base, she achieved second. When she turned and started back to first at her coach's urging, I would interpret this as a new play, not part of the continuing action of the initial play. The runner has now forfeited her obstruction protection. I know the obstruction rule states that a runner cannot be put out between the bases where s/he was obstructed, and that is the sticking point to this scenario.
I'm really interested to read what Mike has to say.
