if her arm goes back, that's automatically more than one revolution ... isn't it ... ???

Speaking ASA, the rule (6-3D) says the pitcher must not make 2 full revolutions. Therefore, the backswing can go as far back as she wishes, so long as once the forward delivery starts, she does not make 2 complete revolutions. I've seen a pitcher who's backswing was almost vertical.
