Last night at a female fast pitch game (16U), the pitcher pitched a pitch which she called "chinese Change-up". She started on the rubber(ouch!!!) with both hands together; however she brought the ball behind her hip and instead of bringing her arm around in a nomal fast pitch rotation, she pitched the ball stright foward in a slow pitch method. The ball flowed to the plate with a slow pitch arce (about 5 feet) on it. The umpire called it lllegal pitch. Her team coach argue that it was legal; however the opposing team coach called it lllegal, also.
Has anyone heard of this pitch and is it legal according to ASA rules?

Either I am missing something here, or else this is a perfectly legal delivery.
