R1 has to run wide around F4 between 1B and 2B, BU signals obstruction but judges she would not have made 3B without the obs since the ball is at the cut off. R1 decides to try to reach 3B & continues on past 2B. Coach, thinking R1 left early, is yelling at R1 to return to touch 1B. R1 reverses direction, touches 2B, and is tagged out before reaching 1B.
Ruling?

Dead ball and place the runner on 2B.
Rule 8.5.B.1 & POE 35 specifically state that it cannot happen.
BTW, there are no such animals as 8-K or 5-B.3 in ASA's book.
