I'm having a little trouble understanding what you're asking. Is this the play?
R1 stealing, ball to the gap in left. After R1 touches 2B, F7 catches the batted ball. R1 turns and goes back to 1B without touching 2B. Defense appeals with the announcement that "He can't cut across the diamond like that!"
If that's the play, it doesn't matter whether he misses 2B by 6 inches or 6 feet, he'll be out on appeal. And yes, I'll treat the coach's announcement as an appeal. After all, why is he right? Because the runner missed 2B when returning to 1B, which is what the coach is appealing.
