There is no confusion Skinner. How about we just stick with the "definition" of a Crow Hop as defined by the "governing body of softball" here in the US, instead of "Coach Hals Method" of re-defining things........."Skip to my Lou" has no bearing on the definition..........
Rule 1 Definition.
"A crow hop is defined as the act of a pitcher who steps, hops or drags off the front foot of the pitcher's plate, replants the pivot foot, establishing a second impetus (or starting point), pushes off from the newly established starting point and completes delivery".
A Crop Hop is a REPLANT WITH A REPUSH.........Period. Whether it's a Step Forward/Replant/Repush.......Hop Forward/Replant/Repush......Or Drag Forward/Replant/Repush.......
Any act of REPLANTING AND REPUSHING is a CROW HOP............Without the REPUSH, there can be no CROW HOP as defined by the RULE...........This is exactly why the rule was clarified. You MUST be able to prove a repush to create the illegal crow hop.............
The rule is clearly defined to those who don't always feel the need to create their own definition...........
Kinda like........45 degrees "closed"...........ROFL!
