AND: 12.4.11 When she steps back toward home plate to avoid or delay a tag by a fielder. As the tag was made essentially at the same time as the miniscule hop how was the rule violated? And it took a conference of the umpires and only after the Washington coach brought it up? Not at all an obvious call. And what purpose is served anyhow - protecting incompetent defenses? Runners can do it elsewhere and it doesn't affect play?
