Runner takes a lead, pitcher looks in, get's his sign, comes set, checks the runner, here's the pitch, runner goes, batter swings but doesn't get good contact, ball ricochets to the backstop, umpire says "foul tip" runner has to go back to first.

The play you describe is a "foul" not a "foul tip", despite what the announcers, fans, coaches might say.
Any umpire who says (or indicates) "foul tip" on this should go back to Jr. High.

I guess it's a good thing I don't umpire baseball/softball. BTW, did you mean the Jr High thing since the coach told Gozer to go back to Jr High? :-)
