BR sees the overthrow, and while still past 1B, alters her path by a step or two as though she will advance to second. She does not advance, and starts walking back to 1B. The ball is fielded by F1 outside the circle, and thrown to F3 who applies the tag while BR is still walking back to 1B in fair territory.

The umpires rule score the run, and 3 outs. Game over. Coach claims she never made an attempt to advance; umpire judgment says otherwise.

Would you guys have ruled an out there as well? (And no, despite what the home parents thought, I did not just "want to get out of there.")
You answered your own question.

I've seen it called on a head fake (without objection by the offended coach - not me).
