At the rec and "B" level of 10U, moving the pitcher's plate back would not be a good idea, IMO.
Unfortunately for ASA, they are the only softball sanctioning organization that needs to recognize both international play and 10U - 12U play (actually, I don't know how young ISF "junior" play is, but I am assuming we are talking about high school age by and large).
ASA is in a tough spot if both NFHS and ISF go with 43'.
If it was only an ISF issue, they could make the change at 16U and up (or perhaps even 18U and up). But NFHS for sure covers 16U, and as you have observed, part of 14U.
