Dash has it. The calling umpire should approach the coach as he is patting his chest saying, I got it coach, that's a balk, he did.....

OK, but then I look like an idiot. Sorry, I already do that enough on my own. "Yes, coach, I called a balk, but I don't know why. Let's ask my partner!"
I MIGHT echo the "Time" call, but never the "Balk" call unless I see the balk, too.
