joes87 and others - assuming the pitcher is pitching legally, just really quickly, what strategies do you recommend that are legal and effective in slowing things down? In the situation outlined, why wasn't the opposing coach a) complaining and b) having his players keep their back foot out of the box until their front foot is set. If pitcher begins wind-up before back leg is in the box, then tell batter to NOT accomodate the pitcher (keep back foot out of box) and have a no-pitch called.
