I still think that perhaps B/R should have been out because she made the attempt for 2nd but does the fake attempt wipe out that liability?

Don't know where or from whom you received your training, but the rule is pretty clear. Other than how long you allow the runner to stop, there is very little else for the umpire to "think" about on the LBR.

You need to get back into the book, RS & case plays and get a complete understanding of this rule.
