PAY ATTENTION! READ THE OP! The original post said that F8 allowed it to drop. Thus it isn't a case of reading whether he can catch it or not. It means he was close enough to either catch it or allow it to drop as he saw fit. Depending on where the runners are he either catches it or allows it to drop. In either event, some runner is screwed.

Pay attention to reality. Any coach who keeps his runner so close to the bag he doesn't have a fighting chance to reach second safely shouldn't be coaching, coach.

The bottom line is there is no rule prohibiting F8 from allowing the ball to drop, or dropping the ball from his glove intentionally and getting the runner at second base on the force. Too bad, so sad, thanks for playing, come back soon, drive safely.
