Here is an example of following the spirit of the rule and not using it as a "gotcha". A BR who happened to be the batting team catcher, reached 1st safely and the ball was in control in the circle. Then the runner on 1st, expecting a CR as usual, stepped off the base, then back on when the coach said something. Could have been called out, but not in the spirit or intent of the rule.
