ASA 6-1-E requires the hands together for at least 1 second. Now this doesn't have to be a distinct pause, but merely popping the ball into the glove and pulling it back out on the delivery seems it would be an illegal pitch.

...or "am I being to technical with the wording?"
In my view, you are being too technical. If there is no quick pitch, and if the hands are brought together, that is all that is required. Certainly, the rule does not call for a "pause" (i.e. stopping of motion).
