"If the runner is goaded into sliding back into second when the fielder fakes taking a throw, by FED rules you will have Obstruction (Fake Tag)."

To get an obstruction call for a "fake tag", you actually need to have something happen that resembles a, well... "tag". Like a sweep at the runner with the glove, when the fielder is not in possession of the ball.

Simulating taking a throw from another fielder is not a "fake tag".
