ASA 8-7-E.
The runner is out . . . E. When anyone other than another runner physically assists the runner while the ball is in play. Effect – Section 7 A–E. The ball is in play and the runner is out. In . . . E, the runner passing or assisting is called out. [My bold.] Shouldn't it say "the runner passing or being assisted is called out"? A runner can assist another runner. And can a runner who's been put out assist a runner who has not been put out?

We got to discuss this very same thing with Merle Butler at a clinic this past weekend. (Buddah do you remember?)
7-A-E Should read being assisted. I seem to remember a thread, or maybe just a post about that sometime last summer. Now, when anyone other than another runner....that runner is out. Once a runner is put out, s/he is no longer a runner, thus the put-out (ex)runner becomes anyone other than another runner, and by assisting will cause runner to be out! Or simply to answer last question, no.

That defensive player "hole" in the rule has existed for a long time. I think everyone simply ignores it.
