Post OBR vs NCAA

As far as mechanics go, the closed fist to the side is not a NCAA signal. If you see obstruction, you point and say
" That's obstruction!" Then you let the play progress. When the play action is over, you call time, repeat "That's obstruction", and then place the runner(s). It looked to me that the catcher got his clock cleaned. I wasn't there so I have no opinion as to the serverity of the collision. It did look ugly though.
The NCAA mechanic is similar to the NFHS mechanic (not rule but mechanic and obviously the opposite of OBR) of allowing the play to continue no matter if the runner is being played on or not?
