So...if we are told by folks who matter in both ASA and NFHS that basically we are to disregard the action of the feet (except for a leap) after the hands come apart...

No, but that was my point originally. This "tip" is being taken as part of all aspects of what is termed a "crow hop". I believe it is only meant as an indicator when the pitcher moves the pivot foot off the PP towards the batter prior to the start of the pitch (separation of hands).

I believe the way it is being presented doesn't make that distinction at times.

I must be among the minority, but I feel it is an excellent point, as is your other point here. If the correct distinction is made when presenting it, we can have more consistent and proper application of the rule.

Fortunately, we were recently blessed with a regional clinic in Region 15 which included Wild Bill, Malcolm, JJ and Kevin...and while I would never speak for them, they presented it with proper distinction.
