It is not a required procedure for NFHS pitchers to take a step backward,
however, if done it must be completed before or as the hands are being
brought together.

I was watching a college game on ESPN where the pitcher clearly brought her hands together..paused...then stepped back on every pitch but nothing was said or done.

It is illegal in college to use this procedure. Should have been called.

Do you NFS umps actually call this illegal, or is it something that is let go?
What you stated, NO, NFHS umpires do not call that illegeal, however
NCAA umpires should.
