F2 delays game

While I'm at it, would like your opinions on this one, not spelled out in any rule book I can find.

Yes, this happens most often in LL, but I've seen it at frosh and JV levels, too.

After a pitch, R2 or R3 jumps to a big lead, daring F2 to throw him out. F2 decides one of these three:

a) Run at the runner
b) Make 435 fakes at the runner
c) Walk the ball back to F1

I say all of this delays the game. I once had (b) so glaringly that I warned the offense that I would eject F2 for delaying the game, which led to a major sh&tter (but no EJ). I maintain such an ejection is warranted, but how do warn/cajole/wheedle/eject/move the friggin' game along?

Your thoughts and experiences appreciated.

Ace
