4. Pitching I am sure this is ingrained in ASA culture, but I have never understood why ASA allows its men and JO boys to step back, but not its women and JO girls. Other fastpitch programs (NFHS, USSSA, PONY) allow the step; why does ASA force this restriction only on its female pitchers?

I will cede to the FP experts on the board on this issue. If I had my druthers, I'd move the pitcher's plate back to 46-48' and the only underhanded illegal pitch would be starting while not in contact with the plate. But, as you all know, that will never happen.

USSSA and NFHS both allow the pitcher the step backwards.
