Still not going to solve the problem of a generational lack of umpires.

It was and of course our state association missed the first two batters.Are the games not live-streamed?
Is that an old fashion rule? I remember when my dad played fast pitch in the 70s/80s people used the term "Presenting the ball." Was that a real rule at one time or is it a myth like "tie goes to the runner?"No rule saying the ball can not be in the glove when simulating taking a signal, but some umpires think it has to be in the hand. My DD’s pitching coach always said humor that umpire instead of trying to get him to admit he is wrong during a game and just have it in her hand.
There's your answer...Side note in the regional championship the third base umpire kept telling our coaches they were going to call an illegal pitch on our other pitcher for not pausing at state (not sure why they didn’t during the regional game). Not the same pitcher during this game.
The comment was made that you were warned in the regional. Not even the same kid. Not the same crew either.
Of course both of the opposing pitchers we faced leaped but no call.

An opponent's coaches wife was screaming at everyone, but especially the high school kid umping that it was illegal because her foot must maintain contact with the pitcher's plate through the whole delivery. No biggie... no one listened to her.
Then when we played on their field their ump called every pitch illegal because "The pitchers foot must maintain contact with the pitcher's plate through the entire delivery." Keep in ming it's Little League, so these are volunteer umps. He didn't know the rules and would have never noticed her foot, but someone told him to call it so he did. This isn't the only time I've seen it, I've seen it a million times.

had one this weekend. pitcher never paused. I went and asked the ump. Do they still require stepping on the rubber, hands apart and pausing for at least 1 sec?? He replied yes. And my next question was, "when is she going to pause for the first time, cause it's the 2nd inning and hasn't paused once yet?"
his silence spoke volumes as to his competence. morons are everywhere.
My unscientific analysis of this has found that this is the single most uncalled illegal pitch in the game. I do not understand why other umpires are NOT calling this. It was a major POE in NFHS within the last few years!
