I've mumbled, "He just signalled to not let another good one go by."

Exactly!
I don't see why this is so hard for people to understand. When the coach is giving the signs; whether the batter has ONE FOOT out of the batter's box or TWO FEET out of the batter's box ... what difference does it really make?
The game is halted until the sign giving is over, one way or the other. As long as the batter promptly gets ready at the completion of the sign giving, what difference does it make?
