I was watching the Alabama/Cornell game the other day, and I thought I saw a lookback violation that wasn't called. Mind you, I couldn't be sure, because you couldn't see the pitcher and the runner on first in the same picture.
Anyway, this is what I saw. Around the fourth inning, there was a put out at second. The pitcher got the ball back, and entered the circle from the second base side. She took about four steps and reached the pitchers plate,not making any moves towards the runner at first. All of a sudden, you see the runner on first enter the picture heading for second. Now, the pitcher had the ball in the circle for a good four seconds before you saw the runner in the upper right of the TV screen. Either she was off base for those four seconds before she started to run, or was on base, and ran after the pitcher had the ball in the circle. The only problem was that you couldn't see the runner and the pitcher on the screen at the same time, so you couldn't see everything at the same time. Just looked like the timing was way off by the runner.
