Narrative:
My student and I were back-taxiing on runway while another aircraft entered the traffic pattern on an extended left base for [the same] runway. We decided to expedite our back taxi so we could depart before the traffic was on final; however the other pilot decided to do a 'modified' final; which took less time; and we elected to continue to the beginning of the runway and hold at the beginning of the displaced threshold to wait for landing traffic. As the instructor; I felt like this was the safest course of action since there were no taxiways to exit the runway. However; I believe that if the other pilot had entered the traffic pattern in the downwind; rather than the base; and flown a longer final; then this would have been avoided. The other aircraft landed safely and after he cleared the runway; we departed.
