Not having seeing the play I would say you were correct. The BALL must break the plane of the goal line. The WH should have probably put a bean bag down at the one yard line to mark momentum if the player would have continued to retreat and try and run the ball out of the endzone.
It is bascially the same for a free kick as it is a scrimmage kick under your play.
