NCAA--Illegal Pitch??

[JRutledge]

This is a good example of what I was talking about. The pitcher in my game had a drag, skip thing going on with pivot foot. This picture the player’s foot is completely off the ground, but I would not be surprised if Buehrle touches the ground with that leg either as he releases the ball or right before he releases the ball.

I told the coaches I have almost never seen a pitcher that was in complete contact with the rubber as they throw the ball. Then I got the "I have been coach........." and the "I played D1 ball........." BS you tend to get when they want you to call something. I think they wanted to get into the head of the pitcher.

BTW, the game was 1-0 with the visiting team winning (the pitcher that was accused of pitching illegally). Both teams were at the bottom of the conferences as well. I must also make clear this is a wood bat conference. The second game of the double header the score was 12-6.
