If R1 stepped off the base once they were in the circle, and DC immediately went nuts wanting an out (which is what I was expecting), he'd be out of luck. I wouldn't have let that happen.
Long story short, R1 didn't move. My partner behind the plate advised F2 (when she returned) to ask for time next time. I didn't hear her reply...

If time wasnt granted and the runner left the base, how would you not have allowed the out to happen? Just as in your other example, dumb move runner, the ball is in the circle with the pitcher and they cannot leave the base.
