Illegal Pitches and when's enough?

[nopachunts]

Worked a 10U tournament this weekend. F1 steps on the pitcher's plate with hands separated, comes together, separates, then puts the ball back into the glove, separates, and starts to pitch.

Called time, talked to coach, told him the problem, and stated it would be called an IP. VERY next pitch, she does same thing. Called IP and the comment from the stands was priceless: "Come on, they haven't called her on that all year."

Have a hard time biting my tongue and not responding, "So, she HAS been doing this all year and the coaches still haven't corrected it?"

And I really "screwed" the team when I called the IP: bases loaded and 3-2 count on the batter.
