Well, yes it is. If the ball was held by any of the other eight defensive players, or even the ninth if she is not in the circle, then the runner is free to leave the base and attempt to return. It is only because of a non-related rule (not related to appeal plays) that the runner is stranded.
I am not arguing not to call the LBR violation; I am just trying to find out if anybody has a reason not to.
