And if this had been NFHS ?

Same basic pitching rules. Only slight variations such as allowing the step back.

Educate me ... Because in NFHS only one foot needs to be in contact with the rubber, so she would already be restricted to not moving the ball back and forth from one hand to the next ...

My comment was in response to the original post of the pitcher having her left toe on the pitching plate and her pivot foot back. FED only requires 1 foot, but it must be the pivot foot that is engaged. Toeing the plate with the stride foot means nothing.

Yeah ... After I posted I realized that the OP stated only the toe of the stride foot was touching ... I was thinking toe of the 'pivot' foot which would make it an IP if that is how she delivered the pitch ... But not in the OP case because she was not yet on the rubber while tossing the ball back in forth between her hands ...

Not sure you would even have anything if the toe of her pivot foot was just touching. FED requires the pivot foot to be on top of, or at least partially on top of the pitching plate.

Where I was going with that, was that IF she delivered the pitch with just her toe of the pivot foot touching, it would be an IP ... NFHS page 48, Figure 6-1, diagram #6
