Live ball appeal? No, it is not an appeal. It is checking with your partner (I know, it is called an "appeal" by coaches, etc., but it is not an appeal).
I don't hold coaches to magic words. As you describe it, the coach has told you something that he saw that you perhaps didn't. If your partner is in position to have seen the play (remember, he does have other priorities on this play), check with him - point and ask "pulled foot"?
