In the 2002 ASA rule book, Point of Emphasis #32 gives almost a page and a half of detail regarding the look-back rule. It provides several examples and clarifications. Here's one, in typical ASA mutilated grammar: "Placing the ball on the ground, holding between the legs or under the arm, is not considered having control of the ball."

It does point out, helpfully, that if either foot is completely outside the circle, the pitcher is not considered to be in the circle.
