That's my worry...
I have routinely let it go for the reasons that LDUB stated: does it every time, deceiving nobody, would seem to be OOO to call the technical balk. But, then you run into the problem that if you have a smart coach with a runner on third, he sends the kid and wants a balk called.
Is this a scenario where we are reminded we just enforce the rules?
I can't see selling either call. A balk call on that is simply asking to cause trouble, and telling a coach that the pitcher isn't balking is equally as detrimental to the game.
