 No, we have one correct ruling and one opposing opinion! 
BTW, Pony rules are the same: 7-4-c
Once the pitcher begins her windup (separates the hands OR makes any motion that is part of the windup after the hands are brought together), the pitcher may make a backswing (allowed by NFHS 6-1-4-d or Pony 7-4-d) but otherwise may not reverse the forward motion.
Taking the arm back, then forward, then back, then forward is illegal.
