Reply to "Bad coaching advice - what to do"

I am not sure why DK was used as an example, and honestly after reading the post from Don I have no clue what he is saying. I suggest that in explanation it's kept simple, for the simple people like myself.

Coach, BHD is 100% correct. I know there was a discussion about this a while back so I asked a pitching coach about the "push". There is no such thing, but there is a force that is generated by the leg and foot, but only a result of everything moving forward and should not be confused as a "push" from the back leg or foot.
In teaching young pitchers to pitch, the word "push" should never be used in instruction.
And there is not one pitcher that I saw that you posted that "pushes" off of the rubber.
