Define "sufficient time" in light of the fact that the runner was dawdling (meaning, to me, taking MORE than the necessary or "sufficient" time to get back to the base.) From the description of the play, the player was given "sufficient time" to get back, but failed to do so because of inactivity on her own part.
If you rule this one a no pitch, what if you extend it. Runner is halfway to 2nd, but begins returning to the base when the pitcher looks at her. She goes amazingly slowly, but does not waver in her consistent direction toward first. Do you have the pitcher waiting 1 minute, 2 minutes before the runner finally gets back? Again - define "sufficient" in the context of this situation. Sounds "sufficient" to me.
