It seems to be an interpretation of must "must immediately return to the base or attempt to advance to the next base." But Comp is correct, the stop one never happened.

But... I do think there is too much lolly gagging going on in general. I see the desire to keep the game moving. We had a recent tournament where the 20 seconds from catchers throw to next pitch was enforced, as well as allowing only one foot out of the box then getting the batter back to hit without 15 seconds of coaching and 7 swings off the bat. I will also not be sad when the constant center of the diamond high fives go away. We don't drive 10 hours for so much wasted time.

This sounds like the time for me to regurgitate my suggestion that the rule is antiquated, does not help the game and should be eliminated.
