Difficult to say without seeing the actual polay. Here's the way it goes. If the runner is actually in the process of stealing, the throw to the "unoccupied" base is legal. If the runner starts the steal then changes his mind and goes back F1 is still okay throwing to an unoccupied base. However if the runner has a big lead and is jumping around, faking and stopping, F1 has to restrain himself from throwing to the unoccupied base as this would be a balk. The best thing that F1 could do is step off the rubber then he can fake or throw to his heart's content.
