By the description, it seems to me that there isn't a second revolution, which would of couse be illegal. The ball is simply released well before the planting of the foot, followed by a normal follow-through. This could be very deceptive to the batter, as far as throwing off her timing, but I see nothing illegal in the delivery as defined in the rulebook. This is similar to the tactic of slapping the glove against the thigh. It's done at the same point on every pitch, but delay it by a millisecond, and it totally throws off the batter's timing. Very effective, very legal.
