It is alright to change a call in that situation to get it right,but the communication process of the umpires is suspect.The coach should have questioned the BU if the F3 pulled her foot,not the PU.The BU should then ask his partner if F3 pulled her foot.If PU saw the foot pulled,then the BU will make the change of his/her call.Sounds like they got it right,but the appeal process was wrong.Welcome to the board,parents interested in the rules are always welcome.
