I recently called a game where a coach called out a series of numbers and letters (Think of a QB's audible) towards his catcher. Obviously, this was his way of calling the pitches he wanted. Everyone, including the pitcher, could hear these calls. The opposing coach complained it should be a balk.
From position B or C, I could see that(at times) the Catcher never even bothered to put down his fingers to make it appear he was relaying the signals.
Should this practice be allowed?
