Guys, guys:
I have no problem with what y'all are saying about a jump-TURN. That is not the situation under consideration.
Again: assume a LHP, in the stretch, who came set;
who "jumped", but DID NOT TURN [he continued to face 1st];
his pivot foot landed behind the rubber; and
he threw to 1st.
Now, presuming that he did not separate his hands until AFTER his pivot foot was on the ground behind the rubber, why is it a balk that he "jumped" rather than "stepped"?

Because the pitcher violated this:
Finallly, NCAA 9-1e AR "To 'step off' the pitcher's rubber, the pitcher must 1) step back off the rubber and 2) disengage the pivot foot before moving the free foot."
Thus, he hasn't stepped off. IF he hasn't stepped off, he must have made a motion to first or to home. Eiother is a balk.

Thanks, Bob. (2) says it pretty clearly. I don't do much NCAA [only Fall Ball], so I'm not as up on those rulings as I should be.
I'm presuming that your position is that in the absence of contrary authority: rule the same in FED and youth/OBR? I can live w/that.
