Where do you draw the line on what coach is allowed to say or not, to entice a balk vs. coach his team? Clearly words like "Time" and "Balk" are not allowed.

1. Sounds like "gogogo" was legit....R1 went and R3 faked to help set up R1.
2. In this situation, F1 is responsible to know to step off, or, if he has begun his delivery, to pitch.
3. That's a balk. R1 stays at second, R3 scores.
