I used to play a lot of racquetball. When one player was about to hit the ball and the other inadvertently got right in their way, you could hold up, not hit the ball, and call hinder. It was the gentlemanly thing to do and the point was replayed.
In baseball however there are no hinders. If I was a coach, I would simply tell my players to throw the ball. It is the base runner's responsibility to get the heck out of the way. If for some reason the pivot man could see that his throw was going to nail someone and they had time to think about it and double clutch, I would encourage them to do that as I'm sure interference would likely be called.
But first and foremost they should just complete the throw and tried for the double play. I think that maybe what Steve had been trying to say.

It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
