He did say it was federation/high school... so anything is possible.
In NFHS, the pitcher cannot make a pick-off move from the wind-up (6-1-2 middle of the paragraph). He may step back with his pivot foot first and then throw to a base. Usually by then all of his partners are yelling for him to step off and he has usually clobbered it up enough that I have yelled "That's a balk!"
In OBR the pitcher, from the wind-up, can step directly toward a base and make a pick-off move (8.01(a2)).
