Technically, I suppose you could call this because it does appear the tackler still may have a foot/feet on the ground. I don't think you want to call it though. The action involved isn't what I think the rules are trying to prevent. The tackler is on his way down, the runner is really just jumping up to get away from the low tackle and he's not really jumping over a player.
I think I heard someone in the "discussion" say "can't be, it was the runner" or something to that effect, which really has no bearing on the call at all. I think the white hat could've been a lot more diplomatic in the way he treated the calling official and handled the discussion. From his tone and the way he "discussed" it, he could've easily been mistaken for a coach shouting out "that's a bull$hit call".
