Calling the kick would not be incorrect, by rule, though...it's an advantage-disadvantage judgement call.

Under NO circumstances would I call a "T" for this.....again, there was no game disruption, so what's the point??
Don't look for reasons to call a "T".....Find ways to avois them.

Lets look at it from a defensive standpoint. You just created a DISADVANTAGE for the defense by allowing the violation (good defense possibly in this case) to go uncalled and allowed the offense an easy lay-up...
