We have nothing so far... totally legal.

Defense goes nuts and says the pitcher got back on the rubber before BR reached 1st.

Who is "defense"? Players/parents? Ignore. Coach? BRIEF statement that what runner did was legal ... did he ask for time before he came out? Did we grant it?
Why is the offense "claiming" anything? Siddown, coach, I got it.

1) Pitcher held the ball up to "threaten" a throw

Umpire judgement as to whether it was enough to be "a play", but probably a play. LBR off. Offense reminding of this is irrelevant.

2) BR is entitled to round, stop, and return to 1st as long as it's an immediate stop & return.

Thanks, coach, I know that.

Ball WAS in the circle in pitcher's possession when BR touched 1st.

OK... but irrelevant.

I do not know if pitcher was on the rubber.

Doesn't matter. Never matters. Don't care.
Runner safe, move on.
