in my opinion...
you had better call a balk, or be ready to convince a coach, player, parent, tournament director that you had the "best intentions" when you didn't follow the rules. my point being that I don't want any coaches, players, and fans beating me to a balk call and then have me call it.
were you ready to call a balk IF someone muttered the word? i would assume be a sh*thead for ending a gam that way rather then be a sh*thead that, to onlookers, doesn't know the rules...or would have it appear that way because of better intentions.
tread lightly, my friend.
