Most people on this board calling FED expect it, so start calling it. A BALK is a BALK. [/B]

Not to be pesky,(is that a word even??), but I just don't like it when I hear an umpire say "I know a balk when I see it."
What we have been trying to point out is that you can also "know a balk" by what the rules say and without seeing it for that matter.
If your coaches don't expect it, then that speaks a lot of your coaches. Ours would have you for lunch if it wasn't called, and I know the guys in TX would also, I called there for 10 years.
