Under NFHS Rules explain to me why this is not a BALK.

This to me appears to be a move with the pivot foot first. Indeed, if he is doing a jump turn, that is a different story, because both feet are supposedly leaving the ground at the same time. In what was described, the pivot foot is stepping towards third base. This is deceptive. His NON-PIVOT foot must step directly towards a base, not his pivot foot.
I don't see where the confusion is. It is a freaking balk the way it is described.
