A crow hop occurs when the pivot foot leaves the pitching plate and replants prior to the release of the ball. ASA goes on to say that the pitcher must push off from the replant point in order for the motion to be called a crow hop. Regardless of which definition you use, the motion you described certainly sounds like a crow hop to me.
