By the way, I fibbed a little in my statement above, I did ask why we in SC were not implementing the appeal rule. When the NFHS adopted the appeal for softball (I believe two years ago) before they did for baseball, I was told it was because they did not want the two sports to be done differently.
Then last year when NFHS implemented the rule for baseball, I was told that the reason it was not being implemented was because this was the only time that any sports official sees something wrong but does not call it. In every other sport, the onus is with the official to call rule infractions without being appealled to.
I can see the point, but I don't agree.
