I brought up Cat and she has not always been legal. I assume more so in college than now, but she really perfected the ability to get a second push off the toes of her pivot foot while fully open and extended. Or it is totally accidental, but that doesn't make it legal.

I do not think you will see it at full speed. I only noticed it during a Big XII (?) playoff game on TV a few years ago. They ran her delivery in slow motion for the talking head to analize for the viewing audience. Fully extended and just before she started to bring the ball down, there was a spray of dirt that was kicked out because she got her toe down and dug in. I only noticed that because they replayed it a few times and I had the opportunity to really get a good look at the slo-mo. Maybe they just picked the wrong pitch to tape, but it was clear as day when you knew what to watch.
