So I've seen umpires call a balk on taking signs off the rubber and Ive seen others not call it. What is the correct ruling for NCAA, OBR, and FED?? Additionally if two runners are on the same base who is out if you tag the trail runner, the lead runner, or the base? Thanks for your responses.

My pitcher was called for a balk for looking for a defensive sign from the dugout with runners on 1st and 3rd. The umpire claimed the pitcher can only take signs from the catcher. I asked what about a verbal sign? To no response.
Untrained umpire!
