As long as not over 3 feet from original avoiding a tag. Might have been 3, but not in my judgment.

Not in mine either. I didn't say he made an attempt for second I said he passed 1st toward second. If there was a runner standing on first you'd have called him out for passing that runner, no?
But a runner can't take any path they want to 1B and still be considered over running the bag. Consider for example, U3K, runner gets to the 1B dugout opening but not in when the coach tells her to run. The opening is in a line with 1st and 2nd. The runner can't overrun at all from that angle. I'm not inclined to let a runner overrun it along that same line going the other way either.
