This is a case where I would "mention" to her coach as he goes around me the next time that it would be a good thing if he made sure her hands were fully separated when she initially steps on. Suggesting that she's "close" to an illegal pitch for a double touch, and that "someone might not use the same good judgment as me, so far" seems to get them to have that conversation.

Even if that is the wrong (not pitching) coach, I've had good success with getting the message across to clean it up, rather than make the borderline call. If they ignore it, I then call the next more aggregious instance, and usually get the "well, he did warn us" reaction, more than the "that's tickytack" comment it might receive.
