Let me go ahead and clarify some more.
8.03 c doesn't apply at all, because the pitcher actually never threw the ball. He was ready to run at the runner.
So now we have a disengaging problem, pivot foot left the rubber and then returned to it. His hands did break, as he ended up fainting to the base before beginning to run at the runner.
8.02 b says
"From such Set Position he may deliver the ball to the batter, throw to a base or step backward off the pitcher’s plate with his pivot foot"
Somebody please straighten my head out on this, its starting to go in circles.
