The 2010 CCA Softball Umpires manual says, with reference to the Look Back Rule (Page 103):
Quote:
|
When play has apparently ended, do not move to your next position until the ball is returned to the pitcher in the circle. If a player requests time before getting the ball to the pitcher in the circle, do not immediately grant it. Instruct the player "Get the ball to the circle."

I agree with your observation relative to 15.10.1.1; the wet ball should be considered as a possible condition that would justify calling time. However, your reference to 15.10.2.4 actually speaks against your point. By the definition, all action has not been completed if there are runners and the ball is not in the circle in control of the pitchers, and all the runners are stopped on a base. Prior to that point, you may believe that all
apparent action is complete, but teams do utilize plays that are triggered by those last split-second decisions that can be made when the pitcher/circle/LBR actions create an opportunity. The NCAA ruling is predicated on making sure we (the umpires) do not take away any conceivable play either team might choose to make.
