I agree

I agree that the RH move to first is different from the LH move to first, but my comment was simply to address the "hanging" knee, foot by a LH pitcher.

If he stops during his move to step toward first then he has balked.

Many many umpires think the LH pitcher can do anything he wants and its not a balk simply because he is a LH pitcher.

The NCAA as you described has addressed it, hopefully others will follow suit to help umpires to call this more consistently.

Thanks
David
