A similar discussion just took place on the NFHS forum. You can check it out for a few different viewpoints:

If the pitcher pitches, we can play on? Do we have to judge if the comment made by the player or coach was intended to get the pitcher to balk...or just a coincidence?

His comment wasn't intended to make the pitcher balk, it just worked out that way. He was yelling at you (or your partner). He was pointing out an infraction that he thought he saw. He wasn't yelling "balk" to make the pitcher balk.

I've got nothing, and warn the coach. Repeat offense by anyone on his team is an ejection.

Close enough for government work. If you believe the rule requires intent, then I have intent. No balk.
