Good discussion regarding this topic on the NFHS board....
NFHS does not have the specific exception that USSSA does for negating the illegal act of stepping on the pitchers plate with both hands together.
I believe it is an illegal pitch, delayed dead ball, but you still allow the pitcher to deliver the pitch...the batter could put the ball in play and gain a better result than the penalty for the illegal pitch.
Don't take an opportunity away from the offense for a defensive infraction.
