1. No basis for changing the call. If a coach wants to argue, let him tell you what he saw and then you can respond, but the response is essentially "that's not how I saw it, Skip. Let's go."
2. If he is "coming close" to not stopping, then he's balking. He must come to a complete, discernible stop. If you're asking youself if he did, then he didn't. Now, while I personally don't do this, I don't object to the suggestion of doing some preventative umpiring and perhaps sending F2 out to tell him he's balking and he needs to come to a good stop in set, or the ump is gonna balk him. This should be done early in the game, not in the bottom of the 7th with the game-winning run on 3B. Personally, I just call the balk(s).
