Partner... What are you doing?

Look back... In this situation runner rounds 2nd finds the ball in the pitcher's position and she is in the circle. The runner did not immediately go back to second. I am not one that jumps on this call, but she just stood there way too long, and as I was starting to single dead ball the pitcher made a move (this is what the coach saw) and the runner on third started to leave her base. Arch to answer your other question I've done this long enough to remember when there was no look back rule or circle.

Wade... and arch... We disagree here and that is fine. It is my stance that there is no reason to bring back up something by me or my partner, but especially my partner since he was not part of the conversation on the field and had no clue what was said. It usually just fuels the flames, and if the coach is grumbling under his breath... let him.

As for my partner... I could have explained my stance better. I think I will give him a call.
