NCAA rule citation if possible.
Why would the BR retreat all the way to home?

Rule 8 SECTION 1.
b. A base runner having acquired legal title to a base cannot run bases in reverse order to either confuse the fielders or make a travesty of the game. A runner violating this rule is out.

Okay I gave you an answer.... so tell me the truth, this wasn't a serious question was it?
