When you get your rules book, please provide a reference.

Thanks.

My mistake. I was thinking of the fake tag provision - FED 3-3-1a. I can't find anything about the HBT.

The J/R quote has been brought up before and Rick Roder has, in an old email, I believe, agreed that it is predicated on the ball being live.

I wasn't aware of the Roder comments...just trying to add to the argument, based on additional comments I have seen.

In my opinion - no balk w/out putting the ball in play. Can't put the ball in play unless the provisions in rule 5-1-4 are satisfied.
