I think we may need a rule change to further clarify it.
You did have a choice. Deny the request. Let them protest. Let your UIC deny the protest. That's why we have a protest procedure.

If it is written in the case play book, it's an official interpretation. ASA doesn't include the case play book because they would rather sell it separately and make even more money rather than print it within the book or at least supply it when umpires pay a ridiculous $15 + per rule book.
