OK, the title of the post was my wording, BUT it's seems appropriate given all the crap Emma was put through in 2022 followed by umpires then ignoring the rule in 2023. Here's the press release from the NCAA media center: "The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved a new rule allowing both feet of pitchers to disengage from the playing surface during their delivery when pushing off the pitcher's plate. "Under the rule, which takes effect with the 2023-24 academic year, the pitcher's pivot foot can become airborne with one push from the pitcher's plate. However, pitchers will not be allowed to replant their pivot foot, resulting in pushing off from a second point and the pitcher being farther away from the pitcher's plate. "NCAA Softball Rules Committee members think whether the pivot foot stays in contact with the ground or is airborne, there is no advantage gained by the pitcher. HMMM - that last paragraph about no advantage sounds familiar..... EMMA LEMLEY IS BACK, BABY!!!!!!
