OBR and FED interpretations welcome.

I do not signal anything, there's no appeal so there's no signal needed. I explain to the coach why he can't appeal.
Hopefully he'll study the rule book and learn how to make a proper appeal.

Just for my education, what is an improper appeal?

I do not mean this as a smart a$$ answer but you need to study the rule book to learn what can be appealed, when it can be appealed and the proper appeal procedure(s).
Basiclly an improper appeal is anything that does not meet the appeal criteria/method referenced in the rule book.
