Bingo, bango, bongo, and all due respect to Mike, that is not what the rule book says. It says the rule is not in force when the runner is overrunning, turning, zigging and zagging.
The rule is too complex, besides. It offers no real advantage to the defense over the standard rule for runners.
My point in all of this is the rule is obtuse, contradictory, and should be clarified, or even better, scrapped.
