On to my question. In this forum, as well as others, I have read the opinion that if the pitcher does a touch and go then that meets the requirement of 6-1-c. I've never had a pitcher do this in any game that I've been PU, but last night watching DD's game, one of the backup pitchers on her team does just that. While she doesn't pitch very much, in three seasons of watching her, she's never been called for an IP. I've had hand claps that last longer than her touch and go, so I'm wondering if any of you would call an IP or if I would be picking nits (or being OOO) if I ever made that call.

Depends on what your NFHS supervisor tells you to do. The touch rarely lasts the "second" it is supposed to and I wish they would either eliminate the minimum time or make it at least 2 seconds (ISF) to the point the hands coming together is obvious.
