In investigating the answer to a question on eteamz regarding "possession and control" for the look back rule to be in effect, I referred to ASA Case Play 8.8-67A.
Here it is for those without their Case Book handy...
R1 on 3B, F2 returns ball to F1 in the 8-foot circle who puts ball and glove between the legs to adjust headgear. R1 comes off of 3B and stops.
RULING: Time out is called and look back rule does not apply. As the ball must be held. (8-7T) (weird punctuation in ruling is in the original)
I've underlined & bolded the part that I'm wondering about.
ASA is saying they want the umpire to call time here (apparently urequested by either team). What if R1 doesn't stop, but breaks for home and scores? If I declare time was called, I'll have one upset offensive coach!
What do you think?
