Seriously...

she releases the ball from behind
her back.

I know Glen asked about AFA, but I don't call AFA and don't have their book.
But this pitch is illegal in ASA, as I understand the rules, due to the same clause that Glen cited...
ASA 6FP-3-F,
The release of the ball and follow through of the hand and wrist must be forward and past the straight line of the body.
She needs to get her hand past the midline of her body in the forward direction before release.
It is really nice that AFA gives credit to NCAA for copying the rules, but not to ASA, who provided them to the NCAA. Very open and ethical of you, AFA. Maybe they just can't bring themselves officially to acknowledge that they owe anything to the ASA.
