I've found that those that tend to backpedal then to be also ball watching while doing so. In soccer (and I would assume lacrosse as well) where the referee is the main arbitrator (of course with assistance from his AR's), he's going to be watching the ball and the action around the ball most of the time...

As the new lead making the trail to lead transition, you aren't neccesarily going to be on ball...especially if you have a third. In addition, you can transition a lot more quickly to the baseline (yeah I said it) by turning and running and looking back rather than backpedaling.
