You can correct a misapplication of a rule.

But there is also a rule that says if an umpire says FOUL BALL, the ball is dead. The bell can't be unrung.

The assignor needs to know that this guy needs more training and a test before he gets back on the field. The rules he's making up aren't even old rules that went away - they are simply wrong.

PS - why didn't coach protest (on any or all of the three).

I've seen the bell unrung, I saw it in the majors at the beginning of last season.

Runner at second, batter hits a ball down the first base line that 1st base umpire calls foul. Manager comes out to argue, the crew gets together, change it to a fair ball, place the batter at second and score the runner.

So, in the majors at least, there is precedent to unring the bell.
