At that time, any appeal, proper or otherwise, live or dead, would have been moot.
But, in a normal dead ball situation where an appeal could be allowed, I still think that I would have accepted that.

"I signal a "weak" safe call, and DHC asks me "Blue, did she miss home plate?" " I'm trying to see why you think the ball was dead. Sounds like the coach's comment came immediately following the safe call. If the runner missed, surely she's still close enough in ANY level of ball to not kill the play that quickly.
And no ... the coach can't make the DBA. I guess we don't "all know" this, since it's false.
