Correct in what way? It'll probably start another debate, but the rule is to prevent the pitcher from getting signs, stepping on the rubber, and pitching immediately. In effect, the rule is intended to slow the pitcher down: step on the plate, take signs (or appear to take signs), then pitch.

The rule (this is where the argument begins) doesn't prohibit a pitcher from taking signs from anyone -- catcher, coach, infielder, dad in the stands -- while off the rubber. It also doesn't prohibit him from taking signs from anyone while on the rubber.
