The pitcher got on, facing 3rd base, pivot foot engaged on the rubber, staring in to get signs, with both hands together (right hand inside the glove) set completely still just below the chin. The hand was never behind the back, it was never at the side. This is clearly a violation of the set position rule. He never "came to a set", he was already there!
I think in the future, I'll just call it immediately. No need to wait till the ball comes out of the glove, no need to wait till the hands separate. An illegal postion is illegal, I'm calling it.
