I don't normally put a hand up unless a pitch is imminent in that situation. That way, even though the batter has a foot out of the box, the pitcher can attempt a pick-off or some such other thing.

If the pitcher begins his pitching motion, shut it down if the batter still isn't reasonably set. Don't rule it a quick pitch unless it obviously is. Just reset and go.

If your hand is up, time is out. Nothing can happen. Don't let anything happen.
