You are sadly misinformed if you think anyone of softball intelligence used this term as a legal method of pitching.

BTW, another BE coach has gone on record that the umpires were outrageous with the blatant IP calls.

Yeah, so did Mike Candrea for two games and an ejection and then, like any intelligent coach, realized that it was their responsibility to have pitchers than can throw legally and the umpires were going to do what they were told.
And this is nothing new. The coaches were the ones complaining about the lack of IPs called. The NCAA softball program is coach-driven, so none of them really have a valid complaint for an umpire doing the job for which they were hired.

Also, please provide the NCAA link showing that these umps called just 3 IPs the entire season.

It isn't the NCAA's, (they do not included ILP in their team/conference scoring summary), but the 2010 Seasonal Statistics from the Syracuse Univeristy Athletic Dept.
The Big East uses BK (balk) instead of ILP (NCAA designation for an Illegal Pitch).
