Never had it happen but around here I've been told that this is how the rest of that goes.
Umpire: It should have been. It was incorrectly called foul
Coach: So you know it is fair, but called foul?
Umpire: I'm sorry but a ball inadvertently called foul must remain foul
Coach: Then I'm playing the game under protest
Umpire: Sure let me grab the UIC.
UIC: Protest denied.
And the citation is always about the impossibility of unringing a bell.
