In Oregon
We teach to agressively call "TIME!" and take two large cross over steps to the batter's open side. As we do this we point to whomever called the "time".
As soon as we are clear of the catcher we then teach to IMMEDIATELY return to your place behind the catcher with one hand up in the "stop sign".
As soon as things are back on the same page we point and say "PLAY".
We feel that by identifing the person that called "time" it prevents any miscommunication and keeps the game management issue clear of who is in charge.
And we DO feel it is necessary.
