Meagan Prince Illegal Pitch vs Oregon

Here is the controversial Illegal Pitch call against Kentucky's Meagan Prince.

I've watched the replay several times. If you notice, the IP call comes before she strides, so it wasn't called for a leap. I'm guessing the IP had to be something like her back foot lost contact with the pitcher's plate.

In the video above, it'll be the slight lift & re-plant of the heel while on the rubber. Negligible to most, but what I can suggest is that Coach White already had it blackbooked, and in his back pocket. During the course of the game, brought it to the umpire's attention. When he needed it, he used it.

Shrewd, maybe. Brilliant, yes.
