Has this changed? (I don't have a rule book newer than 2009 with me at the moment). Certainly seems to me like the "crow-drag" is illegal. ASA does explicitly require that the pitcher actually push off from the point of replanting; i.e. merely replanting is not in and of itself illegal in ASA.

My understanding is what the NCAA is concerned as a replant doesn't not pertain to ASA. It was a discussion with one of the pictures. That's why I'm asking Mike to verify for me, or maybe the 3.2% had gotten to me.
