Let's say the BR hit a shot to the gap and is going for a double. He runs into F3. I put my arm to signal Obstruction. The runner then proceeds to go back to 1st base while saying he could have made 2nd. I usually drop my arm if the BR does not continue to the next base. In my mind he has given up his right to the next base. Am I right?

No. You should award him 2B, the base he would have reached had there been no OBS.

Grey is correct, and BTW, this is for all ASA ball, not just SP.

_____________________________________________
Runner says he could have made 2nd. Not a reason to put
him on second. In you judgement, could he have made 2B.
If so, place him there, if not back to 1B. Your judgement,
not base runners.
