That is in there in case it is realized by the umpire(s) that they should have called IF and didn't. NFHS allows this correction to be made. Same thing for ASA - while not really clear on this in the rule book or POE, the case book does address this with Play 8.2-35. On the other hand, NCAA is just as specific in not allowing this correction.

Okay. That's what I thought. We call it after the fact as an "Oops, my fault... should've called it" type of call. I get it. What about the case play? If F3 couldn't catch the ball because of the sun, then with ordinary effort, could anyone catch the ball? The ball lands foul, rolls fair, and THEN we call the IF? Seems a little odd to me. But what do I know?
