I disagree with the changing your mind part. The important thing is to get the call right. If you realize you made a mistake, don't stick with the first call just because that's what you called first.
It's the announcers/media (who NEVER know the rules) that made this even more inflamatory.
The ball was ruled to have been fumbled backwards. So the ball is spotted where it went out of bounds, and the clock starts on the snap.
Several days later, and the media is still talking about how they think Leinart should have spiked the ball, or a fake-spike play or something. There's no reason to spike the ball, the clock was not running.
Funny how hitting Leinart so hard, and knocking the ball out cost ND the game. If he hadn't fumbled, the clock would have expired before another play could have been run.
