I really dont know why F1 or the defensive coach would be remotely concerned about this.The runner has a second to make up their mind and proceed to the next base or return to the base last touched.While already making the decision to return to the base,the only thing that could happen is she is out if she stops.Period.The runner cant advance to the next base after stopping and returning so why the concern.Well coached pitchers will ignore the slow walk back,knowing nothing can happen unless they are dumb enough to throw or feint a throw.Again,who really cares if they would crawl back to the base,there is no reason for a play.
