That is not what was being discussed.

The two methods being discussed were the OBR....


"That's a balk" (Wait for play to end) "TIME! That's a balk."

And FED:

"TIME! That's a balk."

There can be, and often is, a significant difference.

Do what you want. I believe in this instance there is a right and wrong.
