Leaping? Or replanting?

The really confusing thing is he doesn’t deny there is a replant. He is claiming there is a distinction between replanting and a crow hop. He admits a crow hop is illegal but he claims a replant is legal. I always thought those to be synonymous. I would love for some of our resident umpires to chime in, because he claims the umpires he talked to have no issue with what he is teaching them. It definitely looks illegal to me, but if it is allowed it probably will create an advantage to pitchers who learn it.

There's no ambiguity here. It's just an arrogant guy willing to break the rules for his students and dare the umpires to call them on it.
And here's another one of his posts.

Can you replant without pushing off? (the rule is written in a way to suggest no “resulting in…”)
Or an ankle...

If they wanted to make a distinction then it would have read "are not allowed to replant if it results in pushing off.."
They did. See attached.

Where is the "if"..re-read what I wrote. My point is the rule, as it is written, seems to be implying that replant=second push off which contradicts what that guy was saying.
He claims he was told 'by several UIC's' that replant are legal just not pushing off on the replant.
