To summarize my longer post above, the difference is basically:
1. hands together on pitching plate... drag or hop... replant... hands come apart.
- or -
2. hands come apart on pitching plate... drag or hop.... replant.... pitching motion continues.
In #1, the video and books this year specify that this is a crow hop. In #2, since the hands come apart while still on the pitching plate, the video infers that this is not a crow hop, even though I have always previously thought it was.
