Nevins has to get it under control, though. Hard to believe it's still an issue considering last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the BIG issue At this game it was a non-issue until the FSU coaches complained. Also its a non-issue in int'l play. And as the commentators stated, it doesn't give the pitcher an advantage. Hopping and then pushing off would, which is very different. Now they are calling some very very questionable pitches as illegal.

It is also illegal in baseball but never, ever called. The whole thing is ridiculous if you aren't going to call it even remotely consistently.
