Agreed, Peter. Simply call time when R1 begins this bush league maneuver prior to anyone making a play on him. After he comes back to first and the ball is put in play, if he does it again, call time again. And again, and again.
Why are we calling time? Oh, I dunno, maybe to tie my shoelaces or get some dirt out of my eye or, or, or.....

I would love to be the coach of the team where you as umpire engaged in such behavior totally unsupported by the rules.
You're kidding, of course?
I discussed this play with Mike Fitzpatrick. His official interpretation is that it's ok for the runner to this.
But you don't care, right?
YOU, not the rules, are the important thing on your field.
