You left out an important detail...the team that false started was ahead (but not by much.) The R obviously decided the FS may have been a deliberate attempt by Team A to get time run off the clock, i.e. they would get a new 25 second play clock so could run 25 seconds more off the game clock without playing a down. I think it was a good move on the R's part and under NCAA rules he has the authority to keep itstopped till the snap.
