The NFHS penalties and ASA effects cover that.

Not trying to be hard-headed, but NFHS Rule 5-1-1 starts out by saying, "Ball becomes dead immediately when..."
And then 5-1-1p says, "an illegal pitch occurs, but no pitch is delivered to the batter." So waiting God only knows how long between the illegal pitch infraction and then the moment the pitcher decides not to deliver the pitch is counter-intuitive to the rule stating it's an immediate dead ball.
