Maybe I'm mistaken, but as I read this thread it seems like we have forgotten the 2 type of balk calls. There used to be a standard of practice:
FED - Immediately dead ball - "TIME! That's a balk!" nothing else can happen.
NCAA & OBR - Delayed - "That's a balk!" then get back into position in case action continues.
From this thread, it seems that many are running in different directions on the balk call.
Oh, and once the little tykes get on the big diamond, balks are called - no warnings..... that's called baseball. (yes, I am fully aware that there are some small diamond leagues that call balks - no need to remind us.)
