Not in baseball

Not if he remains in the basepath as he backs up

Quote:
c) immediately upon touching home plate;
Yep.

Quote:
d) immediately upon passing home plate or the third base line;
Nope.

Quote:
e) as soon as he leaves the thirteen foot dirt circle around home plate;
You're thinking of when he loses the opportunity to run on a dropped third strike.

Quote:
f) at the point that the umpire judges that BR has abandoned his running duties;
I believe "abandonment" requires reaching first base.

Quote:
(g) upon entering the dugout.
