I'll bite on a WBC rule
Each team must make 9 US born position players available for the WBC. I'm tired of teams like Italy and Australia embarrassing the US team because MLB has chosen to opt out of the WBC. I'm also...

Improper NCAA Ruling?
It wouldn't seem “fair” to call B4 out and return R1 to third base.
B4 is out and R1 scores, and R2 and R3 are declared out. Three outs.
B4 returns to bat, R1 returns to 3B, and R2 and R3 are...

Disqualification?
Your right. ASA 5-5-B Scoring of Runs and NCAA rule 6, section 1 should have been annotated to disallow the run.

Loophole to How a team scores?
Offensive coach would surely know the run should have counted and argue for it.
This NCAA ruling isn't listed as an exemption to scoring a legal run in rule 6, section 1.

R1 passing R2 on baseline is out before the pitch.
R2 returning to touch 1B, is also out before the pitch, travesty of the game.

Step off, step back or back off?
I think you nailed him simulating a pickoff to third, but the other folks here seem to think he legally disengaged from the rubber. They claim Jim Evans says it legal, so it's legal, right?
