What is the ruling according to the NFHS?

The penalty for touching a batted ball with an illegal glove is a 3 base award. A pitcher's glove with any white on it is illegal, by definition. The penalty for having an illegal glove is different than using one to field a batted ball. The penalty is listed on the NFHS powerpoint we viewed at the state meeting. The FED intent seems clear. I don't think they have a clue of the potential mis-use by a coach who clearly understands, and is an a**hole.
