Technically, if the pivot foot toe is butted against the back of the plate or the heel is butted against the front, that is by rule illegal.
Call or no-call?

The green font is from the rule. The red font appears to be your interpolation.
You've stated a foot butted up against the back or front of the pitcher's plate is illegal.
And you're asking us if we'd ignore that and not call an illegal pitch.
Is that accurate?
