Ron, no one is arguing that is the rulte, but it is pretty clear that as has been pointed out that this is not the interpretation, nor has it been.

I do wish it would be called that way, but it is not. That is why I also wish ASA would move to the 2-second pause as in ISF.

If you were responding to my request for citation, I specifically asked for citation concerning the pitcher "starting" her pitching motion prior to separating of the hands.

6-1 ART. 2 . . . About the Pitch:
a. The pitch starts when one hand is taken off the ball or the pitcher makes any motion that is part of the windup after the hands have been brought together.

However, I've lost the train of thought as to how this relates to the OP question of an illegal pitch....
Let me go back and see if I can get back in the groove (Embarrassed)

The OP said that a left handed pitcher has her right hand straight up and during the pitch she just touches the glove over her head when she is in full windmill ?? It is very hard to "Believe" or "Pitcher" but it does sound like an advantage is being gained by the F1.
