FED - If the pitchers entire free foot breaks the back plane of the rubber and he attempts to do anything other than deliver the batter, that would be a balk.

NCAA & OBR agree with FED. However, OBR adds that if the pitcher's knee breaks the back plane of the rubber, he can only deliver to the batter. Anything else would be a balk.

Latest interpretation found in 2006 BRD item #370 (sorry, there is no 2007 BRD to the best of my knowledge).

Enjoy
