What if the pitcher turned her back to the runner, would that end the play? What if the pitcher turned away, but continued to look at the runner over her shoulder? What if....anything?
If it is obvious the play is over, the LB becomes effective. I think the umpire gave the runner more than sufficient time, but then again, it is the umpire's judgment.
OTOH, it is my belief that the Look Back should be abandoned and just have the umpire(s) kill the ball when it is obvious that all play is finished.
