You are correct. This is a game-control rule that is usually enforced when you have a problem child on the PP or a proverbial cat-and-mouse game between the batter and pitcher.

What many umpires do not understand is that they do not have to grant a batter or pitcher time. Just say "no" and indicate both to play. If either do not move immediately to continue, make the call.
