10.2.3.f gives the umpire that authority to deal with it and 3.6.1 helps with that

So you choose to ignore the rule. How would you handle it if the pitcher clearly rubbed the ball up with dirt, you go out to change the ball, and the offensive coach requests that an illegal pitch be called? By rule, this is an illegal pitch. Would you call it? How would you handle a protest? Are there any other illegal pitches you would choose not to call?
