Are we going to change balk to not a balk?
Yes, if you or your partner indavertantly called a balk, you correct it. Got it???

What if you have a judgment call? You going to tell your partner that what he considered was a balk, was not because you say so? If you do, you might have to throw out more than the coach if it was me.

Of course it is your ONLY focus when you are getting in position and taking your time to make a call. But after you make a call, I am not asking for help or asking my partner what they saw, when I was all over the call.
I never said I have a call that is it, but I know when to ask for help. And there are many calls that I am sticking to. My partner might not even be looking. If I know that, it is not there job to "bail me out." And that is what we are talking about. We are not talking about sticking to a call just to stick to a call. We are talking about the proper procedure to ask for help. In my opinion, this is was not it.
And the last time I checked, I did not care what you think of my advice. Anyone has the right to do what they feel is correct and how they should handle these type of situations. And I do not need a speech about what you do at the Minor Leagues, because most of us do not care or agree with everything that goes on there.
Peace
