As others have suggested, there is no special NCAA interpretation; a step back is a step that places either foot further from the target (first base) than the prior step with that foot. But, the on-the-field ruling stated here is judgment, not a misapplication of the rule, and the NCAA officials cannot overturn that, nor use the video to review it.
