In Feb at the UIC clinic, it was make explicit that ASA does not have a "replant" rule (akin to NCAA).
That is true, it is not a "replant" rule. I' sure to the chagrin of others, ASA uses the terms leap and crow hop as a matter of giving the coach a familiar reference. The leap is quite definitive, but "crow hop" is not.

I believe the term "replant" isn't used is because the term crow hop is used for any act where the pivot foot plant immediately prior to the delivery is not in contact with the pitcher's plate. Some pitchers do not replant, but slide forward off the PP prior to beginning the pitch and the term crow hop eliminates the argument that it wasn't a replant. Yeah, I know it is still in IP, but you also know how coaches can be

I can tell you that a pee-can is something you keep in the duck blind. A pi-ˈkän is the hickory from which the nut comes.
