Speaking ASA.
Actually, you should have ruled the runner out the moment they stepped into DBT. That is not an appeal play.
Since they never reached the plate, they really didn't "miss" the bag, nor consider the runner to have touched it and safe pending appeal.
Neither coach has an argument. Neither player did their job. And the runner voluntarily abandoned her effort and entered DBT without you directing them to do so.
This is basically a DMEbU! Dumb move everyone, but the Umpire.
