PU called a balk.

In FED, F1 is committed to pitch if he moves both arms at the same time. This is NOT a comitment to pitch in OBR or NCAA.
In all codes, F1 can move one arm without being committed to pitch. F1 can, for example, take the sign with both arms at the side, move the glove hand (either hand) to the front, stop, move the free hand to the glove, stop, and then step off (or pick-off in NCAA and OBR).
