Sometimes, the reason for some rules, gets hidden in the wording. The reason the pitcher is not allowed to have white, grey or multi-colored is that these could distract the batter and provide unfair advantage. If a coach is not going to complain about a black and dark tan glove on the first pitch, but waits for an opportune time then he is making a travesty of the game and all I will give him at that point is to ask the pitcher to change gloves. What if he had waited till the bottom of the 7th, with score tied to pull that stunt? That's it, the play stands, the glove is removed. That's all you get coach!
