Change situation #3 (as FED should have) to say:

F1 after fielding a ground ball back to the mound and he has successfully thrown the batter-runner out at first, the offensive coach points out that the pitcher's glove has white in the logo.

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.
