Help!

ASk him if a LH pitcher must disengage. Ask him if the pitching rules are different for RH and LH pitchers.

I have asked him that. He says, "No." When I ask him if the rules are different he says, "Yes."
Then he called a balk on a RH with R1 & R3. The RH stepped & faked to 3rd and then wheeled and threw to 1st. He told the pitcher he had to "disengage from the rubber in order to throw to first!"
I'm stuck. That's why I'm asking if there's a written interpretation that will back me up on this rule. It's the only way I'm gonna win this argument...
