Look back...ad naseum
What exactly does 'immediately' mean? Saw this the other day...P receives ball from C in 8-foot circle. R2 standing still between 1st and 2nd 'immediately' makes move back towards 1B, but then walks as slowly as she can, hoping to draw a throw (R1 is heading back to third, no outs). Coach suggests to ump that this is a LB rule violation since it violates the spirit of the rule. So does 'immediately' also mean 'quickly'? If so, doesn't that start an arguement over what 'quickly' means?
