A verbal appeal can only be made when the ball is dead. 8-2-6-c.

A verbal appeal by a coach can only be made when the ball is dead. A player can verbally appeal when the ball is live.

zm,

I'm out of town on business at the moment and don't have my FED books with me, but I don't believe that's correct.

I can't quote you "chapter and verse" at the moment, but I believe that Dash's assertion that the (solely) verbal appeal in FED is only sustained when the ball is dead and any runners have "completed" their baserunning.

You're right. I was thinking of the part where players or the coach are allowed to verbally appeal when the ball is dead. Nevermind.
