"In plain view of everybody, pitcher reaches down and puts dirt from the mound on his hand, then rubs the ball."

We teach for the PU to move quickly to the mound and ask for the ball and then say:
"Hey sorry we didn't get this open rubbed up enough . . . we'll take care of it from now on . . . if a ball comes out that is not rubbed up enough ask me for another . . . by the way, do not grab dirt and rub the ball down yourself . . .OK?"
Seems to work in my neck of the woods.
