While it may seem to many of us that the act of a fielder throwing a glove at a batted ball to prevent it from becoming fair deserves some sanction in the rules, it is clear (from the ASA perspective, at least) that the rules do not support such a thing.
Further, including the question on the umpire's test indicates that this is not some oversight in the rules. Clearly, the ASA is aware of the interpretation and wants it called that way.
IOW, throwing a glove to prevent a batted ball from rolling fair is a legitimate defensive play in ASA.
