A quick pitch is an infraction that results in DDB and a verbal call. Section 7 of SP pitching rule.

A no pitch [Section 9] effect is that the ball is dead, and all subsequent action on that pitch is canceled.

My position is that it was wrong to call the pitch both illegal and no pitch, because they have different effects.

The umpire erred in adding "no pitch" to his verbal call. The DDB signal and call of "illegal" was correct up until he added on.
