That's legal, and not what they are talking about.
By rule, the windup must have both feet on or in back of a line through the front of the rubber. If the non-pivot foot is entirely in front of that line, then it's a set position.
Pitchers were standing with the free foot in front of that line and then winding up.
College went to a similar rule and POE a few years ago (excpet the free foot must be entierly in front of a line through the farthest forward porion of the pivot foot)
