Rick Pauly has been extremely giving! Quite the gentleman, as well.

Coach FP: Not quite fair to draw lines line that. I think the men can do that because they are allowed to crow hop on purpose when they feel like it over worrying about the rule against it. You also have like 100 males (mostly adults or dare I say seniors) and 10,000 females pitching in the US, not quite equivalent samples.

This started in the early 1980's in the ASA's attempt to keep more males playing and pitching softball as their registration numbers were down, which meant so was their revenue stream. So, their answer was to relax the pitching rules to keep guys pitching longer and make it "easier" for others to do it.
With all due respect, I don't think I'm alone in thinking that many of your posts while having some incredible information in them also come off as condescending to some people. I don't blame Bill one bit for posting what he did because I read it the same way he did despite your smiley faces attached.
Like it or not boardmember, you have a certain status on this forum. Many of the folks look up to you and take what you say as gospel. There was just another post on another thread about somebody seeking your counsel and being unable to contact you because your inbox is full. So whether you like it or not you do have a certain "celebrity status" among the people here. That said I also understand that sometimes when we read things it can be easy to misunderstand and interpret an unintended "tone". Personally I find myself reading some of your posts and being I'm sure how you are meaning what you say: sarcastic or sincere. I don't know any of the people on this forum personally nor have I met any in person except for Bill. But I would be curious to know if I'm alone in my analysis here.
I also realize that I am a nobody. I am the father of a young pitcher, not a pitching coach in anyway shape or form. I respect the hell out of the time you taken to explain the internal rotation method, I just sometimes find myself wishing you used a different delivery in your posts.

I rarely post because BM and a few others come across as pompous know it alls. I asked for pitching advice and got parenting advice. If I'd wanted parenting advice, I'd go to a parenting advice board. I'm glad Bill Hillhouse wrote what he did. Who wants to come to a discussion board and be bullied? What a waste of time.
