My assignor for ASA ball tells us every year that you don't have to call a ball foul until before the next pitch.
Obviously he is exaggerating, but the point is to slow down. Rushing a foul call doesn't make it more or less foul. Wait until it meets the definition of foul and then announce the ruling.
