How long to stop?

Exactly my point. He (jab) said nothing about what Tuss was attributing to his statement. Justanotherblue was saying that the pitcher must stop before raising his kick leg, and that statement, by itself is quite true.

Reading is still fundamental.

I'll ask nicely once. Please do not condescend to me. My reading and writing are just fine, thank you.

Read what he said again. His statement by itself is NOT true, and did say what Tuss was attributing to his statement.

It would have been correct if he (jab) had merely said that the hands must stop before the lower body begins. However, the statement he made is that the hands are the ONLY things that need to stop before the lower body starts to move. (It's a conditional statement: if x, then y. If you want me to use symbolic logic on why his statement is incorrect, I can, but I think most people would rather I didn't. Besides, Venn diagrams don't work too well in this context, and proofs are boring.)
