Is this play a violation?

I got this play from a college coach. Please let me know if this is a violation as part of the rule book:

Situation: Runners on 1st & 3rd

Play: When pitcher starts motion, runner on 1st breaks for second. Our runner on third takes 2-3 hard steps towards home and stops. The batter fakes a squeeze while the dugout is yelling "Squeeze". This would let the catcher quickly look at 3rd while our runner takes second...everyone safe.

Let me know what you all think.

The reason I brought it up was that there was an umpire that called me on Verbal Interference on it.

I was seeing what the rule is on this..

Leave the dugout out of it and it's fine. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't cause a batter to get plunked in college.
