NFHS softball already has dead ball appeals. They were put into effect last year. Since ASA has been allowing them for years and since most HS players play ASA in the summer, it was no big deal; in my area anyway.

Sam,

It's the coach making the live (or dead, for that matter) ball appeal on such things as a missed base that seems a bit unusual. Is this already part of Fed softball? It's not part of ASA (except for appealing BOO).
How is a coach going to make a live ball appeal without interfering with the game?

I a coach wants to make an appeal, the play is going to be suspended since as the umpire, I'm not going to turn my back to the field to listen to a coaches appeal. I am, also, not going to be liable for recognizing a particular coaches voice while I am watching a play unfold.

Nope, ain't gonna happen.
