Looks illegal.

From the limited camera angles, it looks as if after she "slides" the pivot foot across the plate, she moves it out front of the plate and loses contact with the PP.

Don't expect it to be called, just happens to be the first thing I noticed when the game came on

Guess what? IP was called. Never did see what the IP was though.

Heard Michelle Smith say that the umpire should always issue a warning before calling an IP.

Why? These girls/women know they are illegal.

Think about it. What do you hear more from coaches who want to argue an IP call? Is it "No way, that's legal" or " no one has called that all year"?

It seems more often the argument is that the call was made as opposed to it being correct.
