Mike, I think you are missing their point. Everyone probably understands that these games are the Pro Exhibitions, so the players are the Pros.

But, who is the intended audience of these exhibitions? Why, the kids, seeing the umpire NOT call Lisa Fernandez's pitching illegal for leaping, coming off the pitchers plate, and (gasp) crowhopping by sliding off the front of the pitcher's plate to push off from that spot closer to home.

If you think basketball officials haven't heard a million times that "that isn't" called travelling (or palming) in the NBA, then you aren't paying attention. And, that is the point here.
