My position is that it was wrong to call the pitch both illegal and no pitch, because they have different effects.

The umpire erred in adding "no pitch" to his verbal call. The DDB signal and call of "illegal" was correct up until he added on.

I'm going to disagree. I don't believe you can ignore the infraction which took place prior to the umpire's error. The pitcher shouldn't get a pass on an attempt to cheat (and this was obviously the pitcher's intent) because the umpire screwed up the effect.
