I'm looking at 12-9.5 & 9-5.3

It isn't possible to assist a BR after touching the plate.

However, you are correct, the assist rule seems to only apply while the ball is in play and prior to scoring.

Have a coach lose a playoff game because of someone assisting a runner in this manner and you may see a change
