Lots of reasons why kids are late. Logically speaking, if you have time for a hip cock/coil you have time for a hand cock/hitch because they happen at the same time.
Using similar logic, if you are going to coach the hand cock out of kids, then you might as well coach out their hip cock. Same can be said about the stretch part of the sequence. Each of those movements take time to perform.
Of course any move in hitting can be overdone. Perhaps this player is lowering her hands down to her waist. Most players could never pull off lowering their hands as far as Cochran does.
Which brings up a good point that Dixon documented .... the best hitters have a longer period of time between the start of their swing sequence and contact.
