Let me handle this one boys...
On an appealed check swing or any appealable play the unwritten rule of conduct has long been:
In Fed and NCAA, you should grant the appeal.
In Professional and OBR governed ball, you must grant the appeal.
Now, if you don't grant the appeal in Fed or NCAA, you are not showing the players and coaches that you are 100% certain and won't be second guessed. You are giving them the reason to not hire you anymore. You have just learned that you are the lone wolf with regards to this stance. Ask Alstadt, Collis or any of the guys you admire. Those guys will tell you that you are spitting in the wind here.
An appeal is not about changing your call. Most of the time it simply reinforces it.
