Does it help to know that the one I am referring to is quoted as making this statement in a Texas setting?

I may be paranoid, but prefer that I not be naming names that can be Googled.

Take it from someone who knows about that, good move.

No, I have already had more discussions with OKC folks and associated staff than I care to.

Caebook that i got in January 2003, which I think is for 2002 but could be for 2003.

play 6f.1-3 (fp)

May the pitcher take his pitching wtith his hands already together?

Ruling: No. The pitchers (sic) hands must be apart when he steps onto the pitcher's plate and while taking the signal. An illegal pitch should be called [B]as soon as this occurs. [B] (6f-1b).

all the above may have changed but giving some info from asa.

No, it is still the same in the 2007 case book though the rule citation is 6.1.D which does not exactly support the interpretation. But that's why we have case book plays
