To answer your question, the runner would have been out with the tag.
However, I do not like the BU's call mechanic.
Following the same reasoning that we don't verbalize FAIR, you should not verbalize "NO TAG"; merely SAFE is sufficient. The problem with "NO TAG" is it is too easy for the runner to hear "
noTAG".
Use the word TAG only when there WAS a tag. Not when there wasn't.
