You should indicate what code you were playing under.
In any case, that's a softball rule about the BR stepping backward to avoid or delay a tag. NCAA and ASA, probably Fed, too, and others.
Maybe some baseball code (LL?) has that rule, but I doubt it.
I was always told that a BR cannot run backwards between home and first
Do you have a rule book?
