BACK TO the original play. Accepting the JEA interp of leaving the ball live for purposes of the DEFENSE making another play. So... R2, after the coach interference has been called out. Throw from outfield was cuttoff, and the attempt to get BR sliding into 2nd is a wild throw into CF.
How do we allow the OFFENSE to continue after an OFFENSIVE INTERFERENCE? Especially when the Rule book penalty says dead ball. I accept allowing the attempt of the OUT at 2nd.. but ONCE this ball is overthrown.. I want to call TIME and call R2 out and send BR back to 1st.

Although it's listed under the "interference" part of the rule, the offense didn't interfere wiht the defense. That's why the rest of the play is allowed to stand.
It's very similar to a runner passing another. The runner who violated the rule is out, but it has no effect on the other runners -- they may make bases or be put out.
