The reference is an NCAA game with an NCAA coach, not some 10U tournament.

If this coach isn't on the ball enough to catch this and have the runner return to 1B, then the school should be looking for a new coach.

Also, a BR may overrun 1B, but they are to immediately return to the base or advance, not meander around the field until they are ready to commit.

The play, initial no call and out seems obvious to me.
