"Common practice is that..."
Well, common practice is that you pull back the bat, right? Or in other words, why pull it back at all? If you're going to get a ball even if you don't move, why pull back and maybe let the fielders know earlier that you are not going to bunt?
Coaches would have to teach the kids: Leave the bat. But every coach teaches you to immediately pull it back... hmm...
It's just that I've never ever seen an Ump call a ball while the batter still was squared and "not going for it".
