R1 thinking there was an over throw, gets up and heads to home...but F1 still has the ball hidden in her glove and tags out R1.

Great play or..
A) Deceitful tactic
B) Unsporting act or behavior not in the accordance with the spirit of fair play.

Are you asking if this is analogous to a fake tag or if it is hindering or confusing the runner?
