Look Back Rule... Out!

The 100-degree heat quickly pushed me to my limit. I am not proud of my lack of patience in this situation. I was amazed that the coaching staff had completely missed the fundamentals of the softball specific Look-Back Rule. I should have been more patient. I should have listened more. I was stunned that I was even having to explain the rule fundamentals in a 16U State Qualifier tournament. I was sure that there must have been something I was missing. It turns out that after reviewing the video, the play happened exactly as I thought... Wow! - For a minute or two during the discussion with the coach, I thought I was either being "Punked" or temporarily transported to the "Twilight Zone". What I learned is that I need to work on keeping my patience when the heat of the sun is baking down upon my shoulders. Make it a great game! Michael Leavitt - Orem, Utah

The issue is she knew the rule. Has exploited the rule for probably years. And this is the first she has probably encountered someone who enforced the rule correctly.the runner literally stood on 2 for 8 seconds.

@Jomskylark 3 года назад

I mean I doubt she explicitly told the players that. But the players still got that impression nonetheless watching her argue with the ump. She needs to realize that she is a role model to the players. If she argues with the ump over some rule then she is teaching the players to constantly question the ump. When she should realize she screwed up, take responsibility, and show the players how to be courteous and professional.

Coaches assuming the ump is wrong are so frustrating. Fine to initially question, but after he refutes her, just move on. It's like the coaches never consider the possibility that maybe they or the player screwed up.

@Rowgue51 11 месяцев назад

You are allowed to stop once and then decide if you want to continue running to the next base or retreat to the previous base. But the lookback rule only applies to runners BETWEEN bases. It absolutely does not apply here. This was a rules violation but that wasn't the rule violated. The rule that was actually violated is the rule regarding stealing bases. She had clearly occupied 2B and the pitcher had gotten the ball back and entered the circle preparing for the next pitch. The runner then attempted to steal 3B, but you can't leave the previous base until the pitcher has released the ball on a pitch.

@j.g.mcbell9494 3 года назад

Eh. It is hard. I can’t speak to this specifically because I don’t know softball. But for example in football: the exact same penalty (defensive pass interference) has very different meanings and yardage penalties at different levels of football. In the NFL it’s from the spot of the foul. Could be a 60 yard penalty. In high school ball, it’s a 15 yard penalty regardless. And what constitutes defensive pass interference vs defensive holding is different at each level, etc. There are 1000 other examples of this, even down to what is and isn’t a catch. If you watch football on Saturdays and Sundays, and maybe even know all the rules like the back of your hand for each of those levels, you still have to memorize the 200 page high school rule book and the differences.

Just another reason I can’t stand softball. After coaching my son for about 6 years in baseball I tried coaching softball for my daughter. The rules made me lose my mind! Letting 8 year old girls pitch is a joke. Ruin the experience for an entire team so 1 or 2 girls at the most can learn how to pitch. Nobody got a hit because only a rare strike ever crossed the plate.

Likely not: the home plate ump wasn't even sure about it. And I've always hated that rule, even before they had the circle, the pitcher had to be touching the plate which gave me some leeway as a runner, but that circle is just beyond ridiculous, catering to all the fat beer bellies who don't want to drop all the way down to slow pitch. It has no place in youth sports. Hockey got rid of the two line pass, soft ball needs to get rid of this.

@@keefersmotherland1308 don’t be arrogant. Every sport has their weird rules that are hard to interpret. No coach will know every single rule perfectly especially when rules change.

If you don’t see the value in that, don’t know what to tell you. I’ve seen coaches at pro levels getting millions to coach get rules wrong. It’s human nature.

@@TheJcperla This rule has been around for a while now (multiple years), and the female coach clearly didn't know it well enough to argue. Then she started changing the story to defend herself. The male coach probably didn't know it either but its their responsibility (both of them) to know it and understand it so they can then teach it to their players. If they didn't understand it they could go to their organization to get clarification. Michael explained it to the male coach and said it near the end of the video, "Once you guys get this, your going to exploit that and get really aggressive". As for the coaches at pro levels, its their job to know the rules. They have league officials they can contact to discuss the rules and its interpretation. That's not human nature being uninformed, its laziness.

@rstvanman1999 3 года назад

Here is the rule… What is the “look back” rule? The look-back rule is triggered when the pitcher has control of the ball in the pitcher's circle and is not attempting to make a play on a runner (including a fake or threatened throw); any runner stopped on a base must stay on the base, and any runner not on a base must immediately either advance toward the next base or return to the previous base. Any subsequent change in direction or stop by the runner while off the base will result in the runner being called out, so long as the pitcher does not attempt to make a play.
