I know there are some very subtle deceptive moves an F1 may have that we might not see or recognize and when brought to our attention we may then penalize if F1 continues, but to let a coach dictate a call on such a blatent act is giving him way to much influence.
And IMO it's a dead wrong call to balk for taking signs off the rubber unless he also fails to take a sign once he engages the rubber

That's easy Don. I am not the pitcher so as I stated he could be staring at a "babe" for all I know while F2 is flexing his fingers. I'm not in F1's head.
