From your description in the first paragraph, I would consider it illegal. If the umpire you discussed it with saw it differently, I understand his call.
I am not sure I understand your third paragraph about the ball being behind the glove. If you mean touching the outside of the glove versus the pocket, it does not matter. The hands are still being brought together a second time. If the first time together, the ball remains in the glove and then the pitcher brings them together a second time to pull the ball out, that is still coming together twice and thus illegal.
If the glove is blocking the ball so that I can't see it for sure, then I can't call it.
