I would agree with this only if saying that "near the base" is about 5 ft. of the base. I'm not going to allow a runner to exceed that in running around in BFE and outside that limit. If that's the case, everyone indeed saw the runner leave the basepath in his attempt to avoid being tagged.
While I'll allow a little extra space when near the base, there are still limits. The fielder shouldn't have to worry about chasing this guy around the base while others may still be attempting advance abd could need to be played on.
Stretch the limits near the base---don't ignore them.
Just my opinion,
