By chance did you happen to ask this official where he got the stuff he has been smoking. It has to be good.
The game I did last night had 1 balk called, which I corrected my partner on after the game. However, had we used this gentlemens criteria for a balk , we would have had at 8 balks. I probably would have had to toss both coaches also. This is absurd.
