F2 gathers the ball and fires towards 3B, ODB doing nothing more than lollygagging, spectating and rooting his teammate on, leans and steps forward into the throw, off the helmet and OOP. Int, R2 gone. R1 back to 1B.

This call was right. There was a play on a runner. That is the difference between this one and the one which was originally discussed. Here, F2 had a play. In the other, F2 had no chance for a play, hence the no INT call that should have been made.

HP Ump, "Time that's int". by an OTM, R1 out, BR back to 1st.

This call is a HTBT b/c simply running the bases is not grounds for making the call. The rule states that clearly. 7.09(e) Comment states it. Just b/c there was no argument on it doesn't make it the correct call. Just a coach who doesn't know enough to argue a valid point.
And, this is not the same as the OP play presented.
