Dash had it right to start with. If either coach or batter (but especially the coach) does something that you recognize as precipitating the balk, intentional or not, first call "TIME." You have about a half second to replay the situation in your mind. If the coach intentionally did it, the ejection is easy, but you could warn as well depending on the severity. The coach crossed the line and is at the mercy of your ruling. With the player, having asked for time, he has bailed the pitcher out himself. I don't like pitchers, but once the batter requests "time," the pitcher has the advantage.
