Once the hands seperate, the pitch begins and you may not touch the glove/ball together after pitch begins.

The part I'm missing -- and I suspect the others as well -- is that the hands only separate once. They are apart. The pitcher steps on the plate. She makes the toss. They've still never been together. Then they come together for the first time. She separates and then throws home. That's all legal.
