bases loaded home team has no outs tie game extra innings. batter hits home run then misses all the bases leaping for joy as rounding the bases. coaches appeal the missing of all bases. game over? how many runs score? or play on.

Once any base is properly appealed and the runner (hitter) is declared out, including first base, that would be one out, and all runs would score.
Game Over!

Three (3) runs score, even if first base is appealed. It's a force out, but not the third out.

Ron is correct. This is an appeal. But The coach making the appeal should indicate which base is missed. A blanket statement that the batter runner missed all the bases should not be accepted by the umpires. 3 runs score and the batter is out on appeal. If this was the third out of the inning No runs are scored if the batter misses first base and legal appeal is made

Coach cannot make an appeal in ASA. It must be by an infielder or pitcher or catcher, with or without the ball during a dead ball appeal. The coach can dictate word for word the appeal to a player, but a player must verbalize it to the umpire(s).
