R2 and R3, foul fly to F7. You call foul, and F7 catches the ball.
1. Is R3 going to try to advance?
2. Is R2 going to try to advance?
3. If R3 only tries to advance will F7 throw home, or throw to F5 to keep R2 at second, and if he does throw home, will R3 be out or safe?
4. If both runners try to advance, which one will F7 play on, and will the runner be out or safe?
As you can see, there are an infinite number of things which could happen after the catch.
