You believed something that an umpire told you?
And you want me to believe you? A different umpire?
I'm pretty much done with this topic. I will admit that I don't know everything about the rules, but I didn't claim to. I just find it annoying to see so many interpretations of the same rules by different umpires. Especially when they are so easy to see. One umpire calls it illegal when another doesn't. I guess it is a "free for all" on the pitching mound, just as long as you don't get caught it is legal. Not sure how this is showing young ladies how this is the right thing to do in life, but whatever. I will continue to watch my DD pitch the legal way and know that I'm doing the right thing. If an umpire wants to turn the blind eye and continue to allow blatant cheating to occur, that's on them.
