As for the coach, who knows??? Maybe he too had money on the game. They are accusing everybody of betting on everything these days!!!

============================================
The only thing that will nulify a balk is if all runners, including the batter runner, advance one base. If a balk occurs, you try to kill it by pointing and calling BALK but you cannot kill the play. If the pitch comes in you wait till the play is dead over and call time. At that time you award all runners one base. Batter up. G.

*********************************************
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is anything that will nullify a balk. A balk is an immediate dead ball. All runners on base are awarded the next base, and if the pitcher delivers a pitch, it shall be ruled a no-pitch. It makes no difference if the call could not be heard above the crowd. The call was made, and all plays after that fact did not happen. ( I would have liked to have seen the coach get his way, just for spite, though.!!)
