Andy, I'm pretty much with the others. I think you had enough information from the coach to infer that there was a piece of the play possibly missing. I wouldn't wait for the exact question; if there is any legitimate possibility, I am asking right then.

Also, as others have stated, "asking for help" is not an appeal, and is not subject to "the defense left the field". In fact, it would certainly behoove the defense to RUN off the field when they get a break on a call. The defense leaving the field denotes that the defense has relinquished their right to appeal for relief, not the offense.

As far as I am concerned, asking for help ends when another pitch has been thrown. Then, we aren't going back.
