Cut and paste from the 2016 USSSA case book

Quote:
SITUATION F: F1 is (a) behind the pitcher’s plate, takes a signal from F2 and then steps on the pitcher’s
plate immediately bringing the hands together;
(b) on the pitcher’s plate, looks to her coach in the dugout
for a signal and then simulates taking a signal from F2 before bringing the hands together; or (c) behind the
pitcher’s plate, takes a signal from the coach or F2, steps on the pitcher’s plate, simulates taking a signal
from F2 before bringing the hands together.
RULING: Illegal pitch in (a) – pitcher must pause, re-take or simulate taking sign; legal in (b) and (c). (6-
1-C)

And a cut and paste directly from the 2016 USSA rule book

Quote:
Sec 3 ILLEGAL PITCH
An illegal pitch is a pitching rules violation. An illegal pitch is called
immediately
. It is a delayed dead ball and should be signaled by the Umpire
calling the illegal pitch and verbalized so a player could hear the call. Failure
of players to hear the call shall not void the call.

What your UIC and national rules committe member is telling you is in direct conflict to both the rule book and the case book for USSSA.
