I was working the high school state tournament a couple of years ago and had two big school teams. I was working first base and noticed the first pitcher being illegal on every warmup pitch. First pitch of the game--illegal. Coach comes bounding out of the dugout whining that it is the first time she has been called all year.
Never was illegal the rest of the game. Afterwards, a metro umpire said that this happens every game. She will throw illegal until caught and then fix it immediately.
