Interested to hear what everyone thinks about whether or not she should have been out for look back if the ball was in the circle?
ASA was the rule set.

When you say questionable, do you mean the umpire hesitated or that the ball was probably foul and the umpire pointed fair, or even worse, offered a verbal "fair"?
If the ball was in the circle, sure. But if the throw came from the catcher, I find it difficult to believe the LBR was in effect without further description of the play.
BTW, don't care about how loud or who is saying what, the coach is responsible here.
