Situation 2:
Same game. F1 lifts pivot foot off pitching plate before releasing the ball on every pitch PU is asked by offensive coach to watch F1, he feels F1 needs to maintain contact with plate during release. PU informs coach that the rule doesn't apply to slowpitch. Doesn't Rule 6.3 (Slowpitch)
cover this?
Speaking ASA.

The rule states that, but in most cases when this issue is raised by an offensive team, they are referring to the pitcher lifting his/her heel off the pitcher's plate during the delivery. Like the drag in FP, this is not called in SP.
