If the pitcher, with a runner on base, stops or hesitates the delivery because the
batter steps out of the box, holds up a hand or uses any other action as if calling time,
it shall not be a balk. The rule has been violated by both the batter and the pitcher,
and the umpire shall call “Time” and begin the play anew

Rule 9.3-G

The OP is right. McDonald and his broadcasting partner are only focusing on one part of the rules while ignoring the following, from the college rule book:
quote:
Game Misconduct
SECTION 15.
a. Unsportsmanlike-Conduct Rule. No coach, player or team shall at any time, whether from the bench, the coaches’ box or on the playing field, or elsewhere:
1) Incite or attempt to incite, by word, sign or actions that dispute an umpire’s decision and potentially incites a demonstration by spectators;
2) Call “Time” or employ any other word or phrase or commit any act while the ball is in play for the obvious purpose of trying to make the pitcher commit a balk. If a balk is committed, it shall be nullified;
3) Take a position in the batter’s line of vision, and with deliberate unsportsmanlike intent, act in a manner to distract the batter.
