DD has had opposing coaches complain shes illegal on this exact rule. Umpires usually don't know how to rule on it and it turns into a circus. UIC comes over and all is well in the end.
I attribute it to the type of coach that complains about everything anyways and likes to try and intimidate pitchers at 12yo etc. Taught DD early on to take it as a compliment.
I always make the comment "Man you got good eyes to see a RHP release from the 1st base dugout! Especially the angle of her hand compared to elbow after release" And my favorite "Shes flexible but to get the hand ABOVE the elbow....wow that's good!"
