Correct. That's how I've looked at it as well. This wasn't your typical IW where an official created the situation by being too quick on his whistle. It only became an IW because of what happened in replay. A similar play in the HS game would be if the LJ came in to tell the R the ball actually went backwards and he got it wrong. In that case the result would also be an IW.
