I have never called this but I believe it was in the casebook.
I do believe that, that would be the correct procedure.
Coach asks, player actually does does tag of base/player
whichever applies.

Michael, didn't you hear that baseperson asked for
the appeal when they stepped on the base. ...Sure
they asked!!!![grin]
