That reminds me of a situation. In a tournament, I called dozens of illegal pitches, both replants and leaps, by one pitcher. Of course, the other coach kept saying she does that all the time, about time somebody called it, etc.; so much that I asked him to be quiet about it. Strangely, after the first couple, there was almost no argument from the pitcher or her coach, except a few "let them play". Then, the umpires for her team the remainder of the tournament did not call any. When I asked, one said she must have corrected what she was doing. These were not borderline calls, possibly the most obvious I have seen.
