Gozer's pitching question (NFHS rules)

[Dakota]

Based on my visualization of your description, wherein the pitcher is bringing the hands together, hands begin their motion back behind, staying together, come back in front of the body, still together, and then separate for the backswing for the windmill, I may be inclined to IP this for NFHS. That is a lot of motion after bringing the hands together and may very well look to the batter (and more importantly, to the umpire) like she has started her delivery. Illegal reversal.

For ASA, this would be legal.

There are much more experienced high school umpires on this board than I, however (I just branched out from ASA to school ball last year).

WMB? Rachel? Glen?
