I tell the catcher that it's his responsibility to not give the signal until the batter is ready. If not, I'll balk (or ball) it.
I had a game earlier this year that we must have called a dozen quick pitches. The pitcher loved to try to sneak one in and the coach blamed nobody but the pitcher. "You know they aren't going to allow it, so why do you keep going it"
