My understanding of the "45" is that it is a guideline, not a rule. Mr. Leiter specifically said that "it is a rule" if I remember correctly. Is that the correct understanding? Ultimately I'm understanding this as a "step balk" which can't be argued anyway. If the umpire judges an illegal step, then it's a balk. I think that's what Evans says in his balk video as well.
