I assume this means we let the pitcher throw one pitch, then give the defense the option of the batter is out; or the result of the play.

I know what some people on the board think about stupid NCAA rules, and I tend to disagree, but I'll be damned if this isn't a stupid NCAA rule IMO.
So what if the PU signals DDB and then the pitcher throws an IP which the batter hits into a double play?

Or maybe the pitcher just doesn't pitch the ball in the allotted time?

Seems keeping the ball live could open up a lot of different issues. Not exactly keen on them referring to it as "interference" as it isn't even close to it.
