Unusual !

I have never thought about LBR when the runner is reversing on the bases, only when she is progressing.

I could well be wrong, but I don't think I would call it.

So, hypothetically, if the batter had gone to first, and the coach told her to return to the plate, would you call her out for moving back toward the plate?

Regarding the coach: I have submitted a written report to the State HS Association, even without an ejection having occured, it this exact same scenario. Don't know how they have dealt with it, though.
