I can see an argument for this being a correct call by the letter of the law. However, the game is not played in black and white. There are grey areas. I would NOT even consider calling this play an F-1 based on game management (time, score, etc.). It is a coaching/playing tactic with a long history.
I am still surprised it stood as called. Makes me wonder if they had previous issues, but even so, I still don't see this being an F-1. Not even close.
