Just my opinion. She is not gaining an advantage with this technique. Legally she should maintain contact throughout the pivot. Now if she were to replant in front of the rubber so nothing is touching (no heel on the rubber)... I think everyone would likely call that.
Lifting and sliding across the rubber probably okay. Would need to see it. And every pitch is not the same: sometimes she will likely lift it 1/4 inch and then next time 3 inches; sometimes she will likely have her arch at the front of the rubber and next time she will be two inches in front of the rubber.
You will have to set your boundaries and keep a constant watch.
