Balk Question
I agree 100% with Tim. The coach is wrong (as usual---grin). The key phrase (Jake) is 8.01(c), which you quoted: ". . . anytime during his preliminary motion and before . . ." A bit of advice: if you ever have any questions about rules, ask an umpire first. He may not always be exactly correct---but he'll usually be MORE correct than any coach---only because it's the umpire's job to know the rules, not the coach's.
