Should this have been called dead immediately or should I have let the play develop and give the offense the option of accepting the result of the play?
Situation 2:
Runner on first base. Wild pitch gets by F2 and ricochets away as he chases it down. The offensive coach is signaling for is runner to round second toward third as F4 fakes a catch and tag causing the R1 to slow down and stumble into second base. What should have been called on this play?

1. CO is always delayed dead. In your case, the offense would (I'm assuming) not have an option because all runners including BR advanced one base.
2. Fake tags are obstruction. Award bases as appropriate (minimum of one.)
