JR is right here.
Because there is one other thing about the play everyone is missing, players and coaches who are at least half awake are not stupid about things like this.
If it is a close check F2 will go immediately for an appeal. He won't wait around, since if he does it makes it pretty clear to everyone he thinks it was a check, and BU will almost certainly not overrule it.
If it is a close check, then both the offense and defense will know there is an appeal coming, and nothing is going to happen until the check is made.
Yes, if you hear a bench squawking in a close game go before you asre asked. But please tell me how many times this situation has happened in a game you have done (0), and how many times has a catcher waited 10+ seconds before he asks for an appeal (0)? And how many times is a BU going to overrule a PU in this situation and put a runner in such jepardy when the defense waits for two days before asking for help (0, if BU has a clue).
