If the BR is still walking back toward first, I am not going to grant time until he is touching first and ALL play has ended. What if, by some quirk of fate, the BR decides against all odds and logic, to make a break toward second? This is not likely, but nonetheless, just wait. We don't alter the flow of play to accommodate a possible appeal.
