Disclaimer: I am not a Little League umpire...
From previous discussions (one right here on this board, just a couple of months ago): The LL version of the Look Back Rule is identical to the ASA version- with one exception. The LL version (with respect to any other runners on base) goes into effect as soon as the batter becomes a batter-runner. The ASA version (and all others that I'm aware of) goes into effect when the batter-runner actually touches first base.
No need for tension, debate or arguement on this one (unless you're a clueless coach that is fishing for an out). The runner has made a perfectly legal move and is now safely standing on first base.
