I just had an out on the look-back rule last night in 12&under. Same situation as you described - runner rounds first on BOB, pitcher has ball in circle, runner just stands there not commiting either way. I count to myself - one-thousnd one, one thousand two - "Dead Ball, Runner out!". Then the coach comes flying out on the field saying "What was that call? That hasn't been called all season!" Honestly, I've wondered if I would know when the runner had been given enough time to move, but this runner made the call quite clear - I had no doubt it was the right call.
