Since it isn't a balk, it would best not to call one. Stick by the rules.

So what do you do when a coach is repeatedly complaining about a pitcher taking signs off the rubber? OBR clearly states this is a "don't do that". My solution, "Coach, your pitcher must take signs while engaging the rubber. Have him fix this. I really don't want to send him home early for this."

There's no need to send him home early. You tell the coach to be quiet.
This commonly happens in small ball (kids that don't shave), its simply not that big a deal as long as F1 is not quick pitching.
Tell the coach there's no penalty as long as he's not quick pitching or doing something else that is actually a balk or illegal pitch.
Thanks
