Is this right ?

If the pitcher stops the pitch or attempts to step back off the plate, a dead ball is declared and the IP penalty assessed.

Right?

If it's an IP, cannot be remedied, doesn't that mean it is illegal whether completed or not. The rules I quoted do not include delay in the penalty, the others do.
