That explains a lot. There are many babe-ruth-aged local leagues where the umpires, and the UIC, and the coaches all believe this "myth". Mnay also believe in the "fielders balk", the "hands are part of the bat" etc.
If your league only believes the "pitcher must drop the hands immediately", you are ahead of the game.
