I considered that possibility- that the parent had misunderstood why the IP was called. But he was adamant that his kid had paused while actually on the plate and that the umpire specifically told the coach that the IP was called "for taking the signal from behind the plate".

I have access to the NCAA rules and had read them before posting. I understand that their rule says the pitcher can simulate taking a signal while on the plate. So, there really isn't any requirement for the pitcher to take any signal at all, only to pause. And there isn't any rule or penalty listed about taking one before stepping on the plate.

So far, we have one "for" and one "against" the IP for this one!
