Quick touch yes, back of glove, no.
In recent clinic, Steve Rollins noted that the hands supposedly being together indicates the bare hand should be inside of the glove. It was stated the the back of the glove shouldn't be accepted. Maybe I misunderstood, but it makes sense to me. The definition of starting the pitch notes that it begins when one hand is taken "off" the ball.
A hand (glove) cannot be taken off if it was never in a position to be on the ball. Of course, I am talking about something so obvious it is impossible to miss. If, as the umpire, you have to think about it, don't call it.

Hmm, will Oklahoma City rule in this matter?
It could really change the game here in my state.

Who knows? Just passing along what a Reg UIC stated in a recent clinic.
I don't understand why anyone would care if they are not going to enforce the one second.
