I know this isn't what your asking, but it may help.
I only give the do not pitch sign if the batter asks for time when trying to level out the dirt in the box or "digging in". If you hold up the "do not pitch" sign, the pitcher can't play on the runners. 90 percent of the time, the pitcher won't engage the rubber until he sees the batter in the box.
