I saw a whole bunch of SEC games this year and did not see many illegal pitches called or changed momentum calls etc. Does it “move the needle” for many of the coaches and conferences in the country? Are there coaches/conferences saying that’s illegal and it should be illegal, blah blah. Or are they saying, hey it’s not an advantage and let’s clean this up for everyone and go with the international rule, etc. Also does something happen in OKC on national tv that changes the outcome or momentum of a game with illegal pitches called? Beth Mowins will not shy away from bringing it up, if that happens.

Midlo, I respectfully disagree. Crow hopping can be fixed. I was softball -- carhokies Jun 02, 2022 at 10:37 AM ET

I would hope that Emma's pitching motion is reviewed. -- Worldwide Hokie May 31, 2022 at 04:15 PM ET

I want to say this is an easy call but we’re talking about the NCAA here -- HolidayInnHokie May 30, 2022 at 10:55 PM ET

This, as long as the pitcher stays in the circle -- TomTurkey May 31, 2022 at 08:33 AM ET

Agree. That might be a fair tweak and compromise, of sorts. -- HolidayInnHokie May 31, 2022 at 09:22 AM ET

Unlike baseball the pitch comes from an underhand motion -- TomTurkey May 31, 2022 at 11:23 AM ET
