we can go back and forth on this scenarios, but what i really need is a the definition of "abandons a base" as per 8-7-U

You know, you can hang your hat on this, but the word "abandon" is a matter of the need of a word from the English language, but it is not a defined violation. The violation is for leaving LBT while the ball is live. And it must be a live ball.
