Don't forget the wording from the ASA POE which says...... 
 
The responsibility is completely on the runner.  There is no obligation on the pitcher to look, fake or throw. 
 
Also see B in the POE..... 
 
Once the runner has returned or stops at any base for any reason, he will be declared out if he leaves said base. 
 
EXCEPTION: A runner will not be declared out if: 
1.  A play is made on him or another runner. 
2.  The pitcher leaves the circle or drops the ball,  or 
3.  The pitcher releases the ball to the batter. 
 
I don't see anything in this instance........therefore.....I've got an OUT.

I do not know the NCAA interp about this and I am not sure if Becky was writing regarding the official interp from them or not.  I always understood that NCAA used ASA with some minor modifications until I printed out their rules..........they do look the same as ASA, but go into great detail with many situations.
