Then don't consider the live-ball action an appeal. It's merely throwing the ball to F3. Yeah - you probably can assume that this is for the purposes of an appeal, but since it's a live ball, it could be any number of things, conceivably. Don't consider that play an attempt at an appeal while the ball is still live until the play actually BECOMES a live-ball appeal (ie - someone with the ball touching the appeal base), and you won't have any trouble with the logic of allowing a dead-ball appeal at this base later.
