Shades of Gray - Illegal Pitch?

Black and white - ASA 6.3.H - Pushing off with the pivot foor from a place other than the pitcher's plate is illegal.

My interp: The ball of the foot is required for a "push". Therefore, the ball of the foot must be in contact with the plate prior to any forward motion.

Shades of gray #1
Pivot foot heel is on the plate.
Illegal

Shades of gray #2
Pivot foot is flat on the ground, with just the back of the heel in contact with the front edge of the plate.
Illegal
