My problem with the FED rule or any coach complaining about it is: How do you not know he is not set? The runners can clearly see the hand is not in the glove. There is no illegal deception going on. If the pitcher has his hand really close to the glove and it is perfectly still, then maaaaaaaaaaaaaybeeeeeee. But, other than that, who is being illegally deceived?
This is one of those rules which needs to go away and umpires quit calling unless someone actually complains about it. But, if the rule goes away, then the coaches can't complain about it anymore.
