Ball in Circle – Pitcher has control?

This one came up in discussion the other day...We all agreed that if the pitcher had the ball in their glove in the pitcher's circle, and set the glove/ball on the ground that they no longer had control and runners on base could advance without being called out for leadoff.What about those pitchers which use 2 hands to do their hair/mask etc. I've seen on TV many pitchers put the ball inside the glove between their legs while they fix their hair. Others have put the ball in the globe under one arm while they put on their face mask.Is this control?Funny enough, a quick google shows that many of the different softball associations have different interpretations. Anyone find a Softball Canada or ISF interpretation on this?LOOK BACK RULE Possession USSSA 8.2 only if pitcher has ball (in hand or glove, under arm/chin, between legs).
