You really have to read these rules closer and use some interpretation manuals along with your rule book.
9.01 only gives you the right to rule on any point not SPECIFICALLY covered in the rules.
8.01 begins with " Legal pitching delivery"
and the requirement for both of those legal pitching deliveries is that the "Pitchers take their signs from the catcher while standing on the rubber"
If this is not done, then the pitch is AN ILLEGAL PITCH. 2.00 defines "an illegal pitch when runners are on base as a BALK"
Get it, not legal is defined as illegal.
