From that same coach in Iowa:

Modify:...For the set position...in one continuous motion. He shall come to a complete and discernible stop (a change of direction is not considered an acceptable stop) with the ball in both hands in front of the body with the end of the fingers of his glove at or below the chin and his glove at or below his chin.

Rationale: Some umpires interpret this to say what was stated above and some umpires interpret the current rule as the ball is in both hands in front of his body and his glove at or below his chin. This to some umpires means the ball is in the palm of the glove and the fingers in some cases could be hiding a good portion of the pitcher's face.
