For the record, the definition of a crow hop NEVER states ANYTHING about the hands, either together or separated. The act of replanting and pushing from any place other than the pitching plate, before or after, whether stepping, sliding, or leaping, STILL meets the definition of a crow hop. It may ALSO violate other sections of the pitching rule, but it STILL is a crow hop.
The definition is exactly what its states. All of it, not just the narrow interpretation of individuals.

My, oh my. You are so sure of yourself; so arrogant in your interpretation of everything holy in softball rules that you have to demean anyone that has the audacity to challenge your supreme position.
So - here is your challenge for today.
ASA Mens FP. Pitcher takes big leap off plate, toes on pivot foot down. Hands separated, windmill has started. Pivot foot
replants 3' in front of plate. Pushes, drags, or otherwise moves away from replant point forward towards batter.
CROW HOP? ? ?
