I was really looking forward to the balk clinic you and your "good buddy" WJR were going to give.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to take a cheap shot at me. I wasn't insulting you in any way. We had the opportunity to watch the Evans balk video at an association meeting last year. I found it extremely helpful to me in calling balks last season. I just thought that if it was still available for purchase it might help you as well.
I made it very clear on OU that I disagreed with Walter on soliciting coaches to hold a balk clinic. If you'll remember correctly I stated the same opinion here for JJ and Windy who both hold clinics on balks for teams. However, neither of them solicit the work. While I don't agree with soliciting the work I do feel that if asked I would consider it an honor to do it myself.
The very idea of Walter Rucker trying to teach anyone anything about umpiring baseball is laughable. Especially the intricacies of calling balks.
