Which is your judgment, of course. Personally, based on your comment that the pitcher was adjusting her glove, I probably wouldn't have made that call. I am not saying you are wrong, just a different view.

2) Same girl, steps onto the plate with hand separate, ball is in her hand. transfers the ball to the elbow crock of her glove arm, wipes sweat from her brow (it was a heat wave a nearly 61degrees) wipes/doesn't wipe her hand grabs the ball, takes sign, brings her hands .... illegal or not?

If you determined the pitcher applied a foreign substance to the ball, yes

Coach may have been referring to "looking" for illegal acts as opposed to watching and observing for possible violations.
In our terms, looking for boogers. Since none of us were there, I don't think we can really say.
