Yes there was as second umpire, and he agreed with the upset coach. He did say it was an illegal pitch, Because she didn't release the ball until after both feet were planted back on the ground and tried to call it without success ( Plate Umpire Over-ride.) I guess that is what fueled the fire between Coach / PU. The PU kept telling people, she doesn't have to drag her foot off the rubber.
Anyway, the way we seen it, the pitcher leaping out / planting both feet / then releasing the ball, had quite an advantage over the other team. final score was around 23 - 4.
What was funny after the game, the Asst. Coach for the team that lost, said he was going to protest the game to the league president. And guess who the league president is? You got it. The Plate Umpire.... Go figure.
