Let me make sure I'm getting this right... You quote a baseball rule that is completely invalid for softball (Just changing the word "Balk" to "Illegal Pitch" does not make the statement correct - the entire sentence is meaningless in softball), and YOU feel slighted when someone calls you on it? You post a wholely inaccurate response to OP, likely misleading them, and post it as fact... and it bothers you that ACTUAL umpires tell you rudely that you're wrong? Idiot.

The fact that I failed to change the wording when I 'cut & pasted' it from another document has nothing to do with intent of my post. I was using NCAA wording (allbeit baseball) to answer a question. You can also find basically the same verbage if you google for "NCAA softball umpire guidance."

Send me a link to where NCAA softball says an umpire should ask for help on an illegal pitch when it was clearly made from off the pitcher's plate. What, you can't? Maybe because there's no such thing as a pickoff from the pitcher's position in softball. Hmmm.. Idiot.

After 20+ years of baseball umpiring I was 'asked' to help out with HS softball. So maybe the title of "Softball Umpire" doesn't fit me as well as it does you but the title "Umpire" seems to fit me just right.

I think the term Softball Umpire fits you as well as the term Cricket Umpire fits me. Two different games, with two completely different sets of rules and procedures. And you obviously know as much about Softball as I do about Cricket. Idiot.
