Call the illegal pitch when you see it. Call it early, call it every time you see it, make it stop.

I echo MichaelVA's sentiments.....
When you see illegal...call illegal. Call it loud, call it with confidence and authority. If you don't call IP's when you see them you can't control the game. I mean let's be honest, each coach always thinks that the other team's pitcher is illegal, and wastes no time *****ing to you about it.Call IP's early, and the noise from the benches will quiet down.
But most importantly, do study the pitching rules for whatever code you're working...learn and understand the differences between a leap and a crowhop. Watch whatever video that's out there on illegal on pitching that you can. Become an expert...know more about what is AND isn't an IP than the coaches who are doing the complaining.
Welcome to the forum...have a great season.

Kathy isn't going to read your post, I have a feeling, since her last post was almost 5 years ago. This is a thread that was long since dead, that recently got resurrected.
