There are some situations where you can judge by player reaction what happened. I was taught that this is not one of them: call an out on appeal only when you saw one yourself, unmistakeably.
That said, I must say it's annoying when, all game long, I've had touches and tags at a given base, and then some coach wants an appeal. When I signal "safe" he mutters, "eh, he wasn't watching." Yeah, right coach.
