Look back rule
I agree that the ASA rule book could certainly be more explanatory. I know it's a different rule set, but for a much superior, EXPLANATORY version of the Look back rule, look at the rule #12.21 LOOK-BACK RULE on pages 191-193 of the 2008 NCAA Softball Rules.
You can download those off of Cactus Umpires. |

If you really are having trouble understanding the look back rule, then you need more clinics and mentoring.. and perhaps posing some questions here to clarify it.
I think look back is clear in ASA and NFHS. A definition would muddy the waters, not clarify it.. because in order to be effective, the definition would need to simply restate the entirety of the rule. The test is... Pose a question concerning LBR which is not covered by rule or clarification. If the "bases" are covered, the rule is good. I'm sure the book will continue to be rewritten ad nauseum.. but there is certainly more than enough there to cover the situations and make the rule understandable.
