Looks like NCAA has a different view on the LBR. I copied a few of the important rules. Dues anyone do any NCAA that can confirm that runners can't delay their stop, then go to next base like the above post?

• A runner in motion when the pitcher gets the ball in the circle, may keep going in the
same direction, but if she does continue, she cannot stop.
• A runner in motion when the pitcher gets the ball in the circle may immediately stop,
change directions, and go the other way, but cannot stop again.
• A runner who is stopped when the pitcher gets the ball in the circle, must immediately advance
or retreat without stopping again.

I do not do NCAA, so cannot comment directly. I will say that this was my understanding of the lookback rule for the first dozen years I umpired... until they changed the wording of the LBR "for clarification" and, IMO, messed it up.
