hand to the other.
I cannot find this rule in the 2001 rule book. Any help would be appreciated. P.S I found this rule
in the 1999 rule book also. Dave
Some say it is still an illegal pitch this year, and another says it is not. Thanks, Dave

I am going out on a limb here, but know that one of
the others will clarify this and correct me if I am
wrong.
I think NFHS dropped the note because while on the
pitchers plate, she, the pitcher may have the ball in the
glove hand or the bare hand. With hands separated
takes signal brings hands together, she now must change
ball from glove to bare hand in order to deliver ball.
I am probably not stating this in a manner that is
completely clear. Also see 6.1.1 Situation D Case Book.
6.1.4 Situation C: also tells us she may remove the
ball from her glove while on pitchers plate.
