What's illegal about that?

On the topic, in Fed, she has to have at least part of the pivot foot on top of the plate.

If all she does is lift the heel (no forward foot movement) from a legal starting position, I don't consider that illegal. Otherwise, no legal pitch could reasonably be made from the legal starting positions shown in the diagram!
