I guess we can split hairs over coaching philosophies until we're all blue in the face, but I think as umpires we wouild all appreciate a young pitcher knowing how to propery pitch and throw strikes first, then the intricacies of a balk...I don't think there's a wrong opinion on here...but you'll win more games than you'll lose if your pitchers throw strikes. Typically a balk or two isn't going to kill you and getting a balk or two called on you is usually how pitcher's learn best.
