I believe you might be thinking of the set position. During the stretch, you can look over, say hi to your mom, scratch yourself, then come to a complete stop at the "set" position.
Now once at the set, if you leave your leg hanging to long, we call it the hanging leg balk. Is it the normal delivery? Is the pitcher doing this to get an advantage? If so, balk his butt. If it is the normal pitching motion, let the first base coach figure out how he is going to combat it.
