Imitating the Pros
I'm firmly in the "keep the ball alive" school. Just because a batter puts his hand up as he settles into the box, I'm not going to call time. For safety, I will, however, stop a pitcher, if the batter is not set.
Same on a slide, if the kid doesn't really need to dust off: "You don't need it, stay on the bag and climb the ladder."
