Illegal or Legal, what are your stipulations?

[turk]

The one norm that emerges when I talk to coaches and umpires in Florida is that re-planting and true crow-hopping is bad, whereas leaping is not. I hate the leaping rule because I do not believe that a pitcher who pushes off the plate is doing anything that the rule was meant to prohibit. The leap off a re-plant is the true danger, and that is covered by the crow-hop rule.

The funny thing is no one seems to care unless the pitcher is throwing well!
