Replant

[Dakota]

Our favorite single-topic hobby-horse rider on eteamz has posted a link to a picture site for a recent NCAA tournament.

Here is the link: Ultimate College Softball 2005 Photo Gallery

I posted the following in response on eteamz, but I thought here might be a better place for some frank umpire talk on these pictures.

Since I don't call NCAA, I don't know how the umpires are taught / graded. NCAA is notoriously coach-controlled, however.

In ASA, the following pics would appear to be an illegal replant (note: pivot foot is flat on the ground or on the ball of the foot, knee of pivot leg is bent, windmill motion is still at 12:00 or so):

These are all on the vegas1 page.

I'll hot link (assuming the site allows it) to the most obvious one (vagas22):
